Harbor Lights
Embracing Love Amidst Departure: Marty Robbins' Harbor Lights Tale
Lyrics
I saw the harbor lights
I observed the lights in the harbor.
They only told me we were parting
Those lights indicated our separation.
The same old harbor lights
The familiar harbor lights that once symbolized our togetherness.
That once brought you to me
Those same lights used to guide you to me.
I watched the harbor lights
I continued to watch the harbor lights.
How could I help it, tears were falling
My tears were inevitable; parting was emotional.
Some other harbor lights
There are other harbor lights that may attract your love away.
Will steal your love from me
I fear that other places will steal your love from me.
I longed to hold you close
I yearned to embrace you and share one more kiss.
And kiss you just once more
Expressing a desire for an affectionate moment.
But you were on the ship
You were on a ship, creating physical distance.
And I was on the shore
I remained on the shore, unable to join you.
Now I'll know lonely nights
Loneliness awaits me in the nights to come.
For all the while my heart is whispering
My heart whispers that other harbor lights might take your love.
Some other harbor lights
Fear of losing your love to another place lingers.
Will steal your love from me
The concern that different harbor lights could steal your love.
Some other harbor lights
There are alternative harbor lights that could lure your love away.
Will steal your love from me
The repeated warning that other places may take your love from me.
