[Verse 1]
A#m D#
What a friend, what a pal,
Cm Fm
Only now I can see,
C# D# A#m G#
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
G# A#m Cm
I never knew, what a mother goes through
Fm A#7 D#
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
G# Cm A#m D#7
Pal of my cradle days,
D# G#
I've needed you always
Cm Fm D# D#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
D# G#
You sacrificed everything for me
G# Cm A#m D#7
I stole the gold from your hair
D# Fm
I put the silver threads there
A#m D# G# F7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
A#m D# G#
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
A#m D#
Greatest friend, dearest pal

It was me who caused you

Every sorrow and heartache you knew

Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care

I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
G# Cm A#m D#7
Pal of my cradle days,
D# G#
I've needed you always
Cm Fm D# D#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee

You sacrificed everything for me

I stole the gold from your hair
D# Fm
I put the silver threads there
A#m D# G# F7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
A#m D# G#
Pal of my cradle days
