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 know
oh how I miss you

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
