[00:00.00]The Old Lamplighter - Sammy Kaye/Carmen Cavallaro
[00:11.44]He made the night a little brighter
[00:16.56]
[00:17.95]Wherever he would go
[00:20.67]
[00:21.69]The old lamplighter
[00:25.72]
[00:26.40]Of long long ago
[00:30.77]
[00:31.50]His snowy hair was so much whiter
[00:36.56]
[00:38.22]Beneath the candle glow
[00:42.03]The old lamplighter
[00:46.44]Of long long ago
[00:50.74]
[00:51.39]You'd hear the patter of his feet
[00:54.14]As he came toddling down the street
[00:56.09]
[00:56.90]His smile would cheer
[00:58.59]A lonely heart you see
[01:00.34]
[01:01.58]If there were sweethearts in the park
[01:04.23]He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
[01:06.15]
[01:07.28]Remembering the days that used to be
[01:10.19]
[01:11.95]For he recalled when things were new
[01:14.41]He loved someone who loved him too
[01:16.28]
[01:17.41]Who walks with him alone in memories
[01:21.25]
[01:22.00]He made the night a little brighter
[01:26.48]
[01:28.57]Wherever he would go
[01:31.14]
[01:32.27]The old lamplighter
[01:36.94]Of long long ago
[01:41.94]
[02:12.90]He made the night a little brighter
[02:17.69]
[02:19.42]Wherever he would go
[02:21.89]
[02:22.98]The old lamplighter of long long ago
[02:32.13]
[02:32.72]Now if you look up in the sky
[02:35.24]You'll understand the reason why
[02:38.30]The little stars at night are all aglow
[02:42.69]He turns them on when night is near
[02:45.22]He turns them off when dawn is here
[02:48.34]The little man we left so long ago
