I Cover The Waterfront

(album: At Mister Kelly's - 1957)

(I had two requests
Oh thank you! Oh isn't that nice?
Oh my goodness!
What have I done to deserve this?
Isn't that wonderful?
Let's just spend the rest of the evening here
We don't have to go nowhere
What time you close?
Thank you very much
I Cover the Waterfront
Anything else you want me to cover, darling?
Okay, thank you very much
I Cover the Waterfront
Nothing like a surprise
Isn't it nice
I don't want you to be coy
Huh? You know? You know what I'm sayin'?
Phew! I been trying to get that off my chest, by the ways)

I cover the waterfront
Just for you, my darling
I'm watching the sea
Will the one I love
Be coming back to me?

I cover the waterfront
In search of my love
For 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?
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

To me
For the one I love
Must soon come back to me
