|133. HARBOR LIGHTS 1937 |
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?
GOOD-BYE TO TENDER NIGHTS
BESIDE THE SILVERY SEA.
I LONGED 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 IS WHISPERING.
SOME OTHER HARBOR LIGHTS
WILL STEAL YOUR LOVE FROM ME.
