Marty Robbins – Harbor Lights Lyrics

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 it, tears were falling
Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me
I longed to hold you close
And kiss you just once more
But you were on the ship
And I was on the shore
Now I’ll know lonely nights
For all the while my heart is whispering
Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me
Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me
