We all have pals, We all have gals From whom we drift with the years. Some we forget, Some we regret, After it's too late for tears. From the best pal I had I strayed away And how I regret it today. I wish I had my old gal back again I miss her more than ever now. Tho' we drifted apart, There's a place in my heart Just for her and for no other, Right next to my mother. Gee! How diff'rent my life might have been. I've lived and learned a lot since then. There never was a pal like my old gal. I wish I had her back again.
