My Old Pal - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

I’m thinking of you tonight old pal

And wishing that you were here

I’m dreaming of the time and the days gone by

When you filled my heart with cheer

And 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

Now 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

And 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

'Cause I remember the nights when all alone

We sang «Sweet Adeline»

There’s no other place that i’d laid down my face

Than by your side, old pal of mine

Now, in my checkered life

I’ve found nothing comes right, it seems

But still you’ll always be a pal of mine

Though it may be only in dreams
