Merle Haggard - My Old Pal lyrics

I'm thinking of you tonight, old pal
And wishing that you were here
I'm dreaming of a time and a day 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

Now the old pals are always the best, you see
New friends you can find every day
But they can't fill the 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

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 the places or ever be
Like the old pals of yesterday
