At twilight with shadows a-falling
At the close of a long lonely day
I fancy I hear a voice calling
It's my ole pal of yesterday

Ole pal, I'm so blue since you left me
Life's been all bluer than to bear
I wonder, ole pal, if you miss me
I wonder if you still care

Does your memory stray to yesterday
And picture two hearts that were aline and gay
Won't you come back, for I still love you
You're my ole pal of yesterday

Ole pal, ole pal, ole pal, don't you know I miss you
Yeah, I miss you all the time you're away
Won't you come back, for I still love you
Yeah, you're my ole pal of yesterday
