I Cover the Waterfront - Lester Young, Nat King Cole, Buddy Rich

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 and will you return?

I cover the waterfront

And I’m watching the sea

For the one I love

Must soon come back to me For the one I love

Must soon come back to me
