Time changes as life still goes on.

And wishing that you were near.

I'm dreaming of the times and the days gone by.

When you filled my heart with cheer.

We sang 'Sweet Adeline'.

No other face can take your place

In my heart old pal of mine.

And if you ever think of me
         D                        A
It would make my weary heart so light sweetheart
B7                  E
Your face again to see
    A                       E
But in my checkered life I find
                       A        A7
Nothing comes right it seems
    D                   A
But you'll always be a pal of mine
          B7     E        A
Though it maybe only in dreams

New friends you can find every day
         D                         A
But they can't fill the places or ever be
         B7           E      A
Like the old pals of yesterday
