HARBOR LIGHTS

HARBOR LIGHTS
一首金曲自1937年至今曾被不同歌者重新編録, 甚至有多次打入當年流行榜的紀錄, THE PLATTERS -1960年 Billboard Chart 第八位就最為歌迷認識, 而早於1950年的錄音, 由不同歌者演譯就多被遺忘...

HARBOR LIGHT - Elvis Presley

Recorded: July 1954 Sun Records
Written - H. Williams - Jimmy Kennedy.   
Original: possibly Harry Owens and His Royal Hawaiians 

I saw the harbor lights 
They only told me we were parting 
Those same old harbor lights 
That once brought you to me. 

I watched the harbor lights 
How could I help it? Tears were starting. 
Good-bye to golden nights 
Beside the silvery seas. 

I long 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 keeps praying 
That someday harbor lights 
Will bring you back to me.

WILLIE NELSON - 被批評為不夠浪漫
