The Old Lamplighter Songtext / Lyric

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 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 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

The old lamplighter of long, long ago
