Chords with lyrics
C majorC FF C majorC
He made the night a little brighter
E7E7 A minorAm
Wherever he would go
FF C majorC D7D7 G7G7
The old lamp lighter of long long ago
FF C majorC
His snowy hair was so much whiter
E7E7 A minorAm FF C majorC
Beneath the candle glow the old lamp lighter
G7G7 C majorC
Of long long ago
You'd hear the patter of his feet
As he came toddling down the street
His smile would hide a lonely heart you see
FF
If there were sweethearts in the park
He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark
G7G7
Remembering the days that used to be
C majorC
For he recalled when things were new
He loved someone who loved him too
G7G7 C majorC
Who walks with him alone in memories
FF C majorC
He made the night a little brighter
E7E7 A minorAm
Wherever he would go
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
The old lamp lighter 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
FF
He turns them on when night is near
He turns them off when dawn is here
G7G7
The little man who lived so long ago
FF C majorC
He made the night a little brighter
E7E7 A minorAm
Wherever he would go
FF C majorC G7G7 C majorC
The old lamp lighter of long long ago
