 Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
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
An I'm covered
By a starlit sky above.

Here am I
Patiently waiting,
Hoping and longing,
Oh, how I yearn!
Where are you?
Have you thought back time?
Will 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.
