The Old Lamplighter

In the style of

The Browns

Lyrics

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 things
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 left out long ago

he made the night
a little brighter
wherever
he would go
the old lamplighter
of long long ago
