Woke up in love today with a young woman
G C G D
Who's five hundred miles away as the wind blows
G C G D
Met by the waterfront one summer Saturday
G C D G
She kissed me then and there, five years ago
C G C D
Friday Harbor, watching the ships come in
C G C D
Friday Harbor is etched in my mind
C G C D
Friday Harbor, guess I'm in love again
C G D G
But if she still loves me then I'm doing fine
Soft as the summer sun shines on her auburn hair
Warm as the smile that she gave me so free
But wild as the driving rain, eyes like a hurricane
Who'd ever guess it, that she'd wait for me?
Friday Harbor, walking along the beach
Friday Harbor, one step at a time
Friday Harbor, love's keeping out of reach
But if she still loves me then I'm doing fine
Friday Harbor, feels like a fantasy
Friday Harbor, I'm towing the line
Friday Harbor, don't know what she sees in me
But long as she loves me, well, I'm doing fine
She said "let's wait and see just what July will bring"
"Love that comes quick don't mean love that holds strong"
So through these winter months, until the summer comes
I'll dream of her and keep singing this song (about)
Friday Harbor, postcards and memories
Friday Harbor, she's one of a kind
Friday Harbor, she'll be mine one of these
days in the islands and we'll do just fine
We'll be together and we'll do just fine (I said)
Now and forever... and we'll do just fine.
