Discover the story of the song > The Old Lamplighter – Sammy Kaye

This song is about an old man who used to light lamps in the street at night a long time ago. He had white hair and whenever he passed a lamp, he would leave it dark and remember his old love. He made the night brighter wherever he went, and now when we see stars in the sky, we can remember him because he is the one who turns them on at night.
