Lyrics for I Cover The Water Front

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.
