The Old Lamplighter Lyrics

The Old Lamplighter

 Kay Kyser

 

 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 lantern glow,

 The old lamplighter of long, long ago.

 

 If there were sweethearts in the park, he'd pass a light and leave it

 dark, His smile would hide a broken heart, you see. For he recalls when

 days were new, he loved someone who loved him too, Who walks along with

 him in memory.

 

 He made the night a little brighter, wherever he would go,

 The old lamplighter of long, long ago.
