Lights Of Long Ago Lyrics – A Christmas Carol Cast

Lights Of Long Ago Text

---

(The Lamplighter, now transformed into the magical Ghost of Christmas Past, appears in Scrooge’s room, waking him.)

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST
It’s your lucky night!
Brought you something bright!
Something with
A twinkle and a glow.
To remember
The lights of long ago.
Remember
The lights of long ago.

Glimmers in the dark!
Here and there a spark!
Suddenly a picture starts to grow.
Come remember
The lights of long ago.
Remember
The lights of long ago

A child!
Is this who you used to be?
A scene! Shining from your past.
The vast vistas of your memory,
The shadows
You cast…
Remember…
The lights of long ago.
Remember, Mr. Scrooge,
Hold fast…

(They fly through the starry sky over London.)

Onward through the night,
Onward toward the light,
Onward to a place your heart will know.
Come remember
The lights of long ago.
Remember…
The lights of long ago-o-o…
Remember…remember…remember
The lights of long ago.

(The Ghost shows Scrooge a series of scenes from his childhood. First, Scrooge’s Father is sent to debtor’s prison, leaving
the family destitute.)
