He made the night a little brighter wherever he would go
|
The old lamplighter of long long ago
|
His snowy hair was so much whiter beneath the candle glow
|
The old lamplighter of long long ago
|
You'd hear the patter of his feet as he came toddling down the street
|
His smile would hide a lonely heart you see
|
If there were sweethearts in the park he'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
|
Remembering the days that used to be
|
For he recalls when dreams were new he loved someone who loved him too
|
Who walks with him alone in memory
|
He made the night a little brighter wherever he would go
|
The old lamplighter of long long ago
|
Now if you look up in the sky you'll understand the reason why
|
The little stars at night are all aglow
|
He turns them on when night is here he turns them off when dawn is near
|
The little man we loved of long ago
|
He made the night a little brighter wherever he would go
|
The old lamplighter of long long ago
