I saw the harbor lights;
They only told me we were part - ing,
The same old harbor lights
That once brought you to me.
I watched the harbor lights;
How could I help if tears were start - ing?
Good-bye to tender nights
Beside the sil-ver sea.
I longed to hold you tight
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 is whis' - pring,
"Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me."
