[1st verse:]
|
Mother dear, it's lonely here without you
|
Days and nights are long, ev'rything goes wrong
|
All I seem to do is think about you
|
Dearest friend I knew
|
Oh, how I miss you
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Was there ever a pal like you?
|
Was there ever a gal like you?
|
|
You taught me the right from the wrong way
|
You showed me the short from the long way
|
|
Was there ever a flow'r that grew
|
Half as pure as your heart so true?
|
|
They needed an angel in Heaven
|
So they sent for a pal like you
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Mother dear, my love for you grows dearer
|
Dearer day by day since you went away
|
Ev'ry day an angel draws us nearer
|
Just a while and then
|
We will meet again
|
