Browns The Old Lamplighter Lyrics

The Old Lamplighter 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 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
