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.
