The Old Lamplighter
Charles Tobias, Nat Simon
He made the night a little brighter
Wherever he would go
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago
His snowy hair was so much whiter
Beneath the candle glow
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago
You'll 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 lamp lighter of long, long ago
He made the night a little brighter
Wherever he would go
The old lamp lighter of long, long ago
