"
Harbor Lights "
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 silv’ry Sea
I long to hold you near
And kiss you just once more
But I was on the Ship
And you were on the Shore
Now I know lonely Nights
For all the while
My Heart is whisp’ring
Some other Harbor Lights
Will steal your Love from me
I long to hold you near
And kiss you just once more
But I was on the Ship
And you were on the Shore
Now I know lonely Nights
For all the while
My Heart is whisp’ring
Some other Harbor Lights
Will steal your Love from me
