Harbor Lights by Elvis Presley on 1954 Sun Records. - YouTube

Not sure if this 1954 Elvis version predates the Platters version.

You got the song, but obviously, I was thinking about the Platter's version. Did a quick search, and yes, Elvis did it 6 years before The Platters; but amazingly, neither version was the best selling!

The best selling version was done by the Sammy Kaye Orcherstra in 1950, a number 1 hit, and spent 25 weeks on the charts. Here is the info:

It's your turn to post lyrics, and thanks for reviving this thread!!

Sorry I kind of got lost for awhile
Here is my clue

To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what?
I really want to know

Next song-I really like this one!

I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen

Dance with me, you never dance with me.
Ooh, it seems that I can move,

If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
Go granny, go granny, go granny go
You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her
Go granny, go granny, go granny go

I got it right away funny what sticks in our memories.

New lyric

With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you

How I've waited for this moment
To be by your side
Your best friend wrote and told me
You had teardrops in your eyes

You help me along, makin' me strong.

Not sure about this post. Did you answer your own question? Anyway, googled, and found

Drift Away--The Doobie Brothers

So here is a new one

If I ever get to heaven I'll bet
The first angel I'll recognize

Hint-a teen tragedy song.
