Writer(s): comden/green/styne 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 soon come back to me
