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. 

Baby kiss you just once more. 
But you were on the ship, 
And I was on the shore. 

Now I know the lonely nights, 
While all the while my heart is whisp'ring. 
Some other harbor lights, 
Will steal your love from me.
