Lyrics
Dear Old Pal of Mine Verse: All my life is empty, since I went away, Skies don’t seem to be so clear, May some angel sentry, guard you while I stray, And fate be kind to join us some sweet day. Refrain: Oh, how I want you, dear old pal of mine, Each night and day I pray you’re always mine. Sweetheart may God bless you, angel hands caress you, While sweet dreams rest you, dear old pal of mine. Verse: Dearie I’m so lonely, how I miss your smile, And your tender loving way, I just want you only, want you all the while May God decree I have you back some day. Refrain
