He made the night_____ a lit-tle bright-er wher-ev-er he would go,
The old lamp light - er of long, long a - go. _____
His snow-y hair____was so much whit-er be-neath the can-dle glow,
The old lamp - light - er of long, long a - go._____

You'd hear the pat-ter of his feet as he came tod -dling down the street,
His smile would hide a lone-ly heart you see.______
If there were sweet-hearts in the park he'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
R-mem-ber-ing the days that used to be._____
For he re-calls when dreams were new, he loved some-one 
who loved him too  Who walks with him a-lone in mem-o-ry.____

He made the night___a lit-tle bright-er wher-ev-er he would go,
The old lamp - light - er of long, long a - go.
Now if you look up at the sky you'll un-der-stand the rea-son why
The lit - tle stars at night are all a-glow.____ 

He turns them on when night is here,
he turns them off when dawn is here,
The lit-tle man we loved of long a - go.
