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