I Cover the Waterfront
Billie Holiday%01Eddie Heywood and His Orchestra 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,
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.

I have a feeling this is actually the 1941 version with The Teddy Wilson Orchestra. The 1944 versions all start with the chorus, whereas this one starts with the verse.
