Verse

          C
I saw the harbor lights
                          F
They only told me we were parting
            C
the same old harbor lights
                         F
That once brought you to me

Verse

              C
I watched the harbor lights
                                F
How could I help it? Tears were starting
            C7
Good-bye to golden nights
                   F
Beside the silvery seas

          Bb
I long to hold you dear
                       F
And kiss you just once more
             G7
But you were on the ship
                 C
And I was on the shore

Verse

           C
Now I know lonely nights
                                 F
For all the while my heart keeps praying
             C7
That someday harbor lights
                      | F Bb | F
Will bring you back to me
