Harbourlight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the storm kneels down before Him
He said "Let it be"
And there was water, land and sky
Who is so mighty
That the universe exalts Him
He is so mighty
And yet looks down and says
It is Your hand that's moving
It is Your fire consuming
It is You Lord
It is Your name forever
It is Your name forever
It is You Lord
And in His eyes
Flaming fire says He's holy
Yet in His hands
The nail scars say He's mercy
Alpha Omega
He's the Lord of all ages
Jehovah Jirah
He looks down and says "I love you"
And there's no denying our God is awesome
There's no denying our God is awesome
You're awesome God
What an awesome God
And there's nothing else
Nor another like Him
No there's nothing else
Nor another like Him
You're awesome God
What an awesome God

THE HARBOR LIGHTS
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 silvery 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 whispering.
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 whispering.
Some other harbor lights will steal your love from me.

Tony Williams has the smooth silky voice of the 1950's to early 1960's. 1960 Harbor Light. Sadly Tony Williams would retire from the music business the next year in 1961 when he felt that the oice was no longer there.

No matter how much I try I can't find the words to express how great the platters were. His voice is like velvet.
@canpat719
To say that the Platters were in a class of their own would be a huge understatement. They had a sound that was mesmerizing, hypnotic and uplifting, which took their fans to a special place ... every time each and every one of us would hear their music!!!!

Those were the times of the quality,times of the rich and uplifting arrangements and sounds that were great and unforgettable...some songs and artists will never get old and the Platters are one of such artists that will never be forgotten..

@@radomirratkovic9014 because they can actually sing like most of that era unlike today where most cannot project their voice without backup aside bar the likes of Ed Sheeran.
