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
