IN A FRIENDLY LITTLE HARBOUR
Sol Marcus (m) Eddie Seiler (l)

as rec by Turner Layton (vocal & piano)  1940's


In a friendly little harbour,
Beneath a friendly sky,
They brought you and me together,
But just to say goodbye!

For we sailed out of the harbour,
I'm sure that you know why;
Storms are followed by fair weather,
So darling, don't you cry!

There is a day, not very far,
Where our love dreams are
Waiting patiently;
Though we know that we must wait,
It won't be too late
When I'll be with you.

In a friendly little harbour,
When I come home to stay,
We'll live every single dream, dear,
We had to put away!

Fate can take a hand, you understand,
And there's nothing we can do!
Time and tide won't wait for any man,
But love will, it's true!

There is a day, not very far,
Where our love dreams are
Waiting patiently;
And though we know that we must wait,
It won't be too late
When I'll be with you.

In a friendly little harbour,
When I come home to stay,
We'll live every single dream, dear,
We had to put away!
