Harbor Lights Lyrics

Artist: The Platters (Buy The Platters CDs)
Album: Harbor Lights

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

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
For all the while my heart is whisp'ring
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
For all the while my heart is whisp'ring
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me

I loved this song. I was young, but even though it was a love song, it meant so much to me because I had three uncles in the navy and I wondered if I would ever see them again. Yes, they all returned home safely even though two went down with their ship and were rescued at sea.
