OLD LAMP LIGHTER 1946 |
\nHE MADE THE NIGHT A LITTLE BRIGHTER
\nWHEREVER HE WOULD GO,
\nTHE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
\nOF LONG, LONG AGO.
\nHIS SNOWY HAIR WAS SO MUCH WHITER
\nBENEATH THE CANDLE GLOW,
\nTHE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
\nOF LONG, LONG AGO.
\nYOU\u2019D HEAR THE PATTER OF HIS FEET
\nAS HE CAME
\nTODDLING DOWN THE STREET.
\nHIS SMILE WOULD HIDE
\nA LONELY HEART, YOU SEE.
\nIF THERE WERE SWEETHEARTS
\nIN THE PARK
\nHE\u2019D PASS A LAMP AND LEAVE IT DARK,
\nREMEMBERING THE DAYS THAT USED TO BE.
\nFOR HE RECALLS
\nWHEN DREAMS WERE NEW,
\nHE LOVED SOMEONE WHO LOVED HIM TOO,
\nWHO WALKS ALONE WITH HIM IN MEMORY.
\nHE MADE THE NIGHT A LITTLE BRIGHTER,
\nWHEREVER HE WOULD GO.
\nTHE OLD LAMPLIGHTER
\nOF LONG, LONG AGO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
