The Song
"Harbor Lights", is a popular song with music by Hugh Williams (the pseudonym of exiled Austrian composer Will Grosz) and lyrics by Northern Irish songwriter Jimmy Kennedy. The song was originally recorded by Roy Fox & his Orchestra with vocal by Barry Gray in London January 29, 1937. Another famous early version was recorded by American singer Frances Langford in Los Angeles September 14, 1937, and was published again in 1950. The melody of the song is done in a Hawaiian style, 18 years before this island became a state. several versions featured a uklele, and a steel guitar.
The Platters version was released in 1960.
Lyrics
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 longed 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 whispering
Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me
I longed to hold you dear 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 whispering
Some other harbor lights
Will steal your love from me
