Lyrics
Your Old Blanket
L. Teruel
Found an old blanket in a covered box
Precious worn-out quality I admired
Made me feel a comfort when I needed
Don't remember how it was acquired
Knew it was from long ago
It never lost its lasting glow
Your old blanket gave to me assurance
Held it close and felt its endurance
Got me through an everlasting dream
And though it frayed at the seam
(Your old blanket meant a lot to me)
Took the blanket, and in contemplation
Gave it to a homeless man in his frustration
As I came near his look of disbelief
Changed from angry eyes softened by relief
- Chorus -
I can feel it now, just like yesterday
Safe, secure, and not fade away
- Chorus -
