THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
The Browns
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 cheer
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 recalled when things were
new
He loved someone who loved him too
Who
walks with him alone in memories
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
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
near
He turns them off when dawn is
here
The little man we left so long ago
He
made the night a little brighter
Wherever he
would go
The old lamplighter of long, long
ago
