Lyrics

(Eb)I saw the (Bb7)har bor lights.

They on ly told me we were (Ebdim7)part (Eb)ing,

the same old (Bb13)har bor lights

that once brought (Fm7)you (Bb7)to (Eb)me.

I watched the (Bb7)har bor lights.

How could I help if tears were (Ebdim7)start

(Eb)ing?

Good bye to (Bb13)ten der nights

be side the (Fm7)sil (Bb7)v’ry (Eb)sea.

I longed (Eb7)to (Ab)hold you near and (Abm6)kiss you just once (Eb)more,

but you were (F9)on the ship and I was (F)on the (Bb7)shore.

(Eb)Now I know (Bb7)lone ly nights,

for all the while my heart is (Ebdim7)whis

(Eb)p’ring,

some oth er (Bb13)har bor lights

will steal your (Fm7)love (Bb)from (Eb)me.

(Eb)I saw the (Bb7)har bor lights.

They on ly told me we were (Ebdim7)part

(Eb)ing,

the same old (Bb13)har bor lights

that once brought (Fm7)you (Bb7)to (Eb)me.

I watched the (Bb7)har bor lights.

How could I help if tears were (Ebdim7)start

Good bye to (Bb13)ten der nights

I longed (Eb7)to (Ab)hold you near and (Abm6)kiss you just once (Eb)more,
