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.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/kay+kyser/the+old+lamplighter_20233122.html ]
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.
