  			      D             B7    G              A   
The lights in the harbor don't shine for me; 
 
D          B7          G            A 
I' like a lost ship adrift on the sea -- 
A        D              Cdim    A 
Sea of heartbreak, lost love, loneliness, 
 
A7      Gdim  D          D7 
Mem'ries of  your caress so divine --  
 
G               Gm 
How I wish that you were mine 
 
   D          Cdim            A7     Gdim 
Again, my Dear -- I'm on this sea of tears, 
 
A7      D 
Sea of Heartbreak. 
D          B7            G           A 
How did I lose you?  Oh where did I fail? 
 
D            B7      G          A 
Why did you leave me always to sail?  This... 
 
 
(Repeat Refrain) 
 
Bridge: 
 
G                         D  
Oh what I'd give just to sail back to shore, 
 
G                      E7 
Back to your arms once more. 
 
 
    D         B7          G           A   
Oh come to my rescue, oh come here to me; 
 
  D           B7     G             A   
Take me and keep me away from the sea. 
 
(Repeat Refrain)
