I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea,,
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me?
I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
And I'm covered by
A starless sky above
Here am I
Patiently waiting
Hoping and longing
Oh! How I yearn!
Where are you?
Are you forgetting?
Do you remember?
Will you return?
I cover the waterfront
I'm watching the sea
For the one I love
Must come back to me
I Cover the Waterfront was written by Edward Heyman & Johnny Green.
