I laughed and talked and joked with them And looked into their eyes. And then I said good-bye to them With neither tears nor sighs. But now that you must say good-bye My voice began to shake; For w'hen I think of you away It seems my heart would break. 1 don’t know what it i? that’s Got its hold on me, 1 guess, ,-just because you been A good old pal to me. , You’ve cheered me up when I was sad. And laughed when I was gay; You’ve stood by me when trouble came And things looked mighty gray. My sorrows simply vanish when Your arms around me steal. You seem to know just what to say. No matter how I feel. You never measured what you gave By what you thought I’d give; You've been a good old pal to me And I'll love you while I live. ‘ And if my fate is only kind And brings y^ back to me; Then, Sweetheart, if you will say the word, My pal for life you’ll be.
