Harbour Lights

They only told me we were parting
Those same old harbour lights
That once brought you to me.
I watched the harbour 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 harbour lights
Will bring you back to me.
