The Lamplighter's Serenade
Composer(s): Paul Francis Webster - Hoagy Carmichael
Performer(s): Glenn Miller
and multiple other artists
A moment after dark around the park
an old-fashion gent comes parading
Dressed in fancy clothes but singing as he goes
The Lamplighter's Serenade
The old boy loves to talk with couples on the walk
but when it's half after love time
He reaches for his sticks and from his bag of tricks
he lights every star in the sky
And if a lady or a beau should answer
No, he sprinkles their hearts with his magic
Then he steals away to sing another day
The Lamplighter's Serenade
My how time goes flying back, its 1893
A Strummer one horse open hack
There steps a grand old memory
A moment after dark around the park
an old-fashion gent comes parading
Dressed in fancy clothes but singing as he goes
The Lamplighter's Serenade
The old boy loves to talk with couples on the walk
but when it's half after love time
He reaches for his sticks and from his bag of tricks
he lights every star in the sky
And if a lady or a beau should answer
No, he sprinkles their hearts with his magic
Then he steals away to sing another day
