i cover the waterfront

Etta Jones

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.
