I saw the harbor lights

They only told me we were parting

The same old harbor lights that once brought you to me

I watched the harbor lights

How could I help if tears were starting

Goodbye to tender nights beside the silvry sea

I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more

But you were on the ship and I was on the shore

Now I know lonely nights

For all the while my heart is whispring

Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more

But you were on the ship and I was on the shore

Now I know lonely nights

For all the while my heart is whispring

Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me
