Harbor Lights (9/1/50) - Dinah Washington

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.
