[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
