He made the night a lit-tle bright-er
-3 -3 2 -3 3 -2
Wher-ev-er he would go
-2 -1 -2 1 -2
The old lamp-light-er
-3* -3 -3 -2 3
Of long, long a-go
1 -2 -3 -5 4 4 -3* -3* -3
His snow-y hair was so much whit-er
-3 -3 2 -3 3 -2
Be-neath the can-dle glow
-2 -1 -2 1 -2
The old lamp-light-er
-3* -3 -3 3 -2
Of long, long a-go

1 -2 3 -3 4 -3 3 -2
You’d hear the pat-ter of his feet
1 -2 2 -3 4 -3 3 -2
As he came tod-dling down the street
3 -3 4 -3 3 -2 1 -2 3 -3
His smile would hide a lone-ly heart you see
-1 3 -3 -3* -5 -3* -3 3
If there were sweet-hearts in the park
-1 3 -3 -3* -5 -3* -3 3
He’d pass a lamp and leave it dark
-3 -3* -5 -3* -3 3 -1 3 -3 -3*
Re-mem-ber-ing the days that used to be
1 -2 3 -3 4 -3 3 -2
For he re-calls when dreams were new
1 -2 3 -3 4 -3 3 -2
He loved some-one who loved him too
3 -3 4 -3 3 -2 1 2 3 -2
Who walks with him a-lone in mem-o-ry
1 -2 -3 -5 4 4 -3* -3* -3
He made the night a lit-tle bright-er
-3 -3 2 -3 3 -2
Wher-ev-er he would go
-2 -1 -2 1 -2
The old lamp-light-er
-3* -3 -3 3 -2
Of long, long a-go
1 -2 3 -3 4 -3 3 -2
Now if you look up at the sky
1 -2 3 -3 4 -3 3 -2
You’ll un-der-stand the rea-son why
3 -3 4 -3 3 -2 1 -2 3 -3
The lit-tle stars at night are all a-glow
1 -2 3 -3 4 -3 3 -2
He turns them on when night is near
1 -2 3 -3 4 -3 3 -2
He turns them off when dawn is here
2 -2 3 -3 3 -2 1 2 3 -2
The lit-tle man we loved of long a-go
