My transcription from the recording at the Internet Archive: LIGHTHOUSE IN THE HARBOR Words and music by Pinky Herman, Bill Harrington, & Bob Emmerich, ©1953 As recorded by Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye, with vocals by The Kaydets & Jeffrey Clay, on Columbia 39936, 1953. There’s a lighthouse in the harbor On a shore that’s far away. There’s a white house with an arbor Where we kissed farewell that day. [§] Darling, keep the love light shining For this heart of mine so true, Till the lighthouse in the harbor Lights my way back home to you. [INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE, THEN REPEAT FROM §.] - - - There is a catalog entry that indicates there is a missing verse that begins “I'm watching the stars and counting the days.” This line apparently occurs in the sheet music but not in the recording. I have not found any other recording of this song; however, there are other songs with the same title, or with “lighthouse in the harbor” as part of the lyrics.
