This is my transcription from several recordings (which are remarkably consistent): A LITTLE WHITE LIGHTHOUSE Words by Edgar Leslie, music by Joe Burke, ©1937. There’s a little white lighthouse by a blue lagoon And it twinkles like a love light when clouds hide the moon. There’s a little white lighthouse where the night birds croon. We can stroll beside the seaside by love’s lagoon, Dreaming in the gloaming, Where the sea is foaming, Just a happy pair with hearts in tune; And the little white lighthouse will be twinkling soon As we sail away to Love Land on our honeymoon. - - - The Internet Archive has these recordings: Bert Block and his Bell Music, with vocal refrain by Bill Johnson, on Vocalion 3958, 1938.
