Glenn Miller - The Lamplighter's Serenade lyrics

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...!
