          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 2]
              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

[Middle 8]
          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 3]
           C
Now I know lonely nights

                                 F
For all the while my heart keeps praying

             C7
That someday harbor lights

                      | F Bb | F6
Will bring you back to me
