Thread Name: Lyr Req: Harbour Lights (Judith Haswell)
Subject: Lyr Add: HARBOR LIGHTS (H Williams, J Kennedy)
For those of us who lived and loved in the 1950s, there is only one "Harbor Lights." No substitutes!

Lyr. Add.: HARBOR LIGHTS
Hugh Williams and Jimmy Kennedy, 1937

One ev'ning long ago, a big ship was leaving.
One ev'ning long ago, two lovers were grieving.
A crimson sun went down; the lights began to glow
Across the harbor one ev'ning long ago.

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 if tears were starting
Goodbye to tender nights
Beside the silv'ry sea.

I long to hold you near
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 was whisp'ring
Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me.

Ah! Guy Lombardo, Vera Lynn, Sammy Kaye, Bing Crosby, .....
