My Old Pal

I'm thinking of you tonight old pal And wishing that you were here I'm dreaming of the times and the days gone by When you filled my heart with cheer I remember the nights when all alone We sang Sweet Adeline No other face can take your place In my heart old pal of mine The old pals are always the best you see New friends you can find every day But they can't fill their places or ever be Like the old pals of yesterday I'm wondering where you are tonight And if you ever think of me It would make my weary heart So light sweetheart your face again to see But in my checkered life I find Nothing comes right it seems Still you'll always be a pal of mine Though it may be only in dreams The old pals are always the best you see New friends you can find every day But they can't fill their places or ever be Like the old pals of yesterday
