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 it? Tears were starting

Good-bye to golden nights

Beside the silvery seas

(whistling)

I long to hold you dear

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 keeps praying

That someday harbor lights

| |

Will bring you back to me
