THE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
By Simon & Tobias
Intro
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.

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
