Back to You

It’s so hard to leave but you know I’ll return
And when the travelling’s all over
And there’s one thing I’ve learned
Just as sure as that harvest moon comes within view
I’ll be making my way back to you

CHORUS: There’s lights on the harbour, stars in the sky
That old yellow harvest moon gently rides by
It’s telling me that summer is just passing through
As it lightens my way back to you

And as you start searching for where you belong
May your path bring you happiness and keep you from harm
I’ll ask that Man in the Moon to keep one eye out for you
As he lightens my way back to you

CHORUS: There’s lights on the harbour...

So I wish and I wish on each falling star
That you know I’ll be with you wherever you are
Just remember when that harvest moon comes within view
It once lightened my way back to you

CHORUS: There’s lights on the harbour...
