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
