The Old Lamp Lighter

歌詞

He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go (he would go) The old lamplighter Of long, long ago His snowy hair was so much whiter Beneath the candle glow (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 had 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 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 (he would go) The old lamplighter Of long, long ago He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go (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 so long ago
