Song Lyrics

Harbor lights seems to be a very popular song wherever I sing it in a town that has a harbour
It really doesn't matter which country
I know it has many memories for all the girls whose men folks were sailors in the war or in fact fishermen
So for all those who waited at the quay this is especially for them

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 silvery sea

I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship and I was on the shore

Now I know lonely nights
And all the while my heart is whispering
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

I long to hold you near and kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship and I was on the shore

Now I know lonely nights
And all the while my heart is whispering
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

Hugh Williams, Jimmy Kennedy
