[Verse 1]
D#m G#
What a friend, what a pal,
Fm A#m
Only now I can see,
F# G# D#m C#
How you dreamed and you planned all for me.
C# D#m Fm
I never knew, what a mother goes through
A#m D#7 G#
There's nothing that you didn't do
[Chorus]
C# Fm D#m G#7
Pal of my cradle days,
G# C#
I've needed you always
Fm A#m G# G#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
G# C#
You sacrificed everything for me
C# Fm D#m G#7
I stole the gold from your hair
G# A#m
I put the silver threads there
D#m G# C# A#7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
D#m G# C#
Pal of my cradle days
[Verse 2]
D#m G#
Greatest friend, dearest pal
Fm A#m
It was me who caused you
F# G# D#m C#
Every sorrow and heartache you knew
C# D#m Fm
Your face so fair, I have wrinkled with care
A#m D#7 G#
I placed every line that is there.
[Chorus]
C# Fm D#m G#7
Pal of my cradle days,
G# C#
I've needed you always
Fm A#m G# G#7
Since I was a baby upon your knee
G# C#
You sacrificed everything for me
C# Fm D#m G#7
I stole the gold from your hair
G# A#m
I put the silver threads there
D#m G# C# A#7
I don't know any way I could ever repay
D#m G# C#
Pal of my cradle days
