about

Jamie’s great grandmother made the quilt Jamie would choose for her bed. She called her quilt "Grandma's Covers". They didn’t share much time on this earth, but a quilt is their connection, and this song as well.

lyrics

Let the moon dance over the milky way
Let the sun come and chase it away
Let the shadows grow deep
You're off to sleep
Safe under Grandma's covers
A patchwork of colors and yarns
To hold you as surely as Grandma's arms
Here in the dark you know each patch by heart
Safe under Grandma's covers

The angels watch from above
On a little bed covered in Grandma's love
Here in the dark you know each patch by heart
Safe under Grandma's covers
Chorus
The corduroy patches are wearing thin
The satin and velvet ones too
By the way your little hands
Are holding these strands
It's almost like they could bring Grandma
Right here to you
Maybe they do
Chorus
