Lyrics
[verse]
When the evening falls on the harbor town
And the fog rolls soft where the ships come down
I think about the place I used to call my own
The city of my heart, so far from home
[chorus]
Lights, shining on the water tonight
Lights, calling me back where it's right
I miss the bay, the bridge, the bell
The city of my heart, I know it well
[verse]
The band plays on in a stranger's town
But my mind is walking where the tide comes down
Someday soon I'll follow that same old road
Back to the lights that feel like home
[chorus]
Lights, shining on the water tonight
Lights, calling me back where it's right
I miss the bay, the bridge, the bell
The city of my heart, I know it well
[bridge]
Every stage feels far from where I started
Every mile makes me a little more homesick-hearted
But I carry that skyline behind my eyes
Till I'm standing there beneath those lights
[chorus]
Lights, shining on the water tonight
Lights, calling me back where it's right
I miss the bay, the bridge, the bell
The city of my heart, I know it well
