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.
