Harbor Lights
Whispers of Parting: Harbor Lights' Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
I saw the harbor lights
I observed the lights in the harbor
They only told me we were parting
Those lights conveyed the news of our separation
The same old harbor lights
The familiar harbor lights
That once brought you to me
That guided your arrival to me in the past
I watched the harbor lights
I gazed at the harbor lights
How could I help if tears were starting?
I couldn't stop tears from starting to fall
Goodbye to tender nights
Saying goodbye to the tender, intimate nights
Beside the silvery sea
Next to the shimmering sea
I long to hold you near
I yearn to have you close
And kiss you just once more
To kiss you one more time
But you were on the ship
You were aboard the ship
And I was on the shore
While I remained on the shore
Now I know lonely nights
Now I experience nights filled with loneliness
For all the while my heart is whispering
My heart keeps whispering throughout
Some other harbor lights
That other harbor lights might attract your love away from me
Will steal your love from me
Suggesting that different lights in another place might steal your affection from me
Now I know lonely nights
Again, I experience nights filled with loneliness
For all the while my heart is whispering
My heart continues to whisper the same fear
Some other harbor lights
Concern that alternative harbor lights could lure your love away from me
Will steal your love from me
Expressing the worry that different lights elsewhere might take your love from me
