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 night 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 the 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 this 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 the places or ever be
Like the old pals of yesterday.

My Old Pal is a song collected in "Jimmie Rodgers - This is Jimmie Rodgers" album.
In this early Saturday morning, I am sitting in the living hall alone listening from one LP to another. When this song comes out from the speakers, my memory also races back to those passing days. I don't feel like writing much. I just want to listen to the song.
To all my pals out there - all the best to you.
Here’s the link to this song on YouTube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQsNIvAgF-Y

Hey BC, I share your ways too. Just listening to the music. Like the Carpenters:
ReplyDelete"When I was young
I’d listen to the radio
Waitin’ for my favorite songs
When they played I’d sing along
It made me smile.
Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they’d gone
But they’re back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well..."
Cheers.
Clearly,like Andy, you're still YAH YAH...no, not what you think but its' Young At Heart!
ReplyDeleteAndy, you summed up my feeling exactly. You're like an old pal of mine too.
