Old Lamplighter Lyrics - The Complete Hits - The Browns

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
