I thought that he was referring to "The old lamplighter of long, long ago," but the lyrics are entirely different. I suspect that it was popular in the 1940s or early 50s. I told him I would try to find the entire song. Thanks!!!!! |

03 Dec 02 - 11:06 AM (#839641) Subject: Lyr Add: THE LAMPLIGHTER'S SERENADE From: MMario There is *this* which i suspect is NOT the one wanted: THE LAMPLIGHTER'S SERENADE As recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra on February 18th 1942 with Ray Eberle and the Modernaires. Words by Paul Francis Webster, music by Hoagy Carmichael. A moment after dark Around the park An old-fashioned gent comes parading Dressed in funny clothes But singing as he goes The lamplighter's serenade The old boy loves a 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... And if a lady or a beau Should find the answer „no" He sprinkles every heart with magic Then he steals away to sing another day The lamplighter's serenade...! |
