I saw the harbor lights
They only told me we were parting
Those 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

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
