Harbor Lights" is a popular song with music by Hugh Williams (pseudonym for Will Grosz) and lyrics by Jimmy Kennedy. This song originated in 1937 in England (1937 copyright unknown) and was published in 1950. It may have been used as the background theme in the film The Long Voyage Home (1940) and was recently recalled by Gary A. Brewer as playing during his sojourn in Hong Kong in the 1960s.
The song has been recorded by many artists, with charting versions done by Sammy Kaye, Guy Lombardo, Bing Crosby, Ray Anthony, Ralph Flanagan, and Ken Griffin. Other versions were recorded by Vera Lynn, The Ink Spots, The Platters (peak Billboard position # 8 in 1960), and Jon Rauhouse.

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 is whisp'ring
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me
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 is whisp'ring
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me
