Keep a Poem in Your Pocket

Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.

The little poem will sing to you
the little picture will bring to you
a dozen dreams to dance to you
at night when you're in bed.

So___
Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you'll never feel lonely
at night when you're in bed.
