Lyrics Jimmie Rodgers

Jimmie Rodgers

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 [Incomprehensible]

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 just 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 checked 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
