I Cover The Waterfront

Johnny W. Green / Edward Heyman


Away from the city that hurts and knocks,
I'm standing alone by the desolate docks
in the still and the chill of the night
I see the horizon the great unknown
my heart has an ache
it's as heavy as stone
with the dawn coming on, make it last

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

Will the one I love
Be coming back
To me............

I fell in love with you first time I looked into

Them there eyes

And you have a certain lil' cute way of flirtin'

With them there eyes

They make me feel so happy

They make me feel so blue

I'm fallin'

No stallin'

In a great big way for you

My heart is jumpin'

You've started somethin

With them there eyes

You'de better look out little brown eyes
if you're wise

They sparkle

They bubble

They're gonna get

you in a whole lot of trouble

Oh baby them there eyes

You're overworkin' them

There's danger lurkin' in

Them there eyes



Maybe you think I'm just flirtin'

Maybe you think I'm all lies

Just because I get romantic when I gaze in

Them there eyes

Never had nothing
No one to care
That's why I seem to have
More than my share
I've got a man crazy for me
He's funny that wayWhen I hurt his feelings
Once in a while
His only answer is one little smile
I've got that man crazy for me
He's funny that wayI can see no other way
And no better plan
End it all and let him go
To some better gal
But I'm only human
A coward at best
I'm more than certain
He'd follow me WestThough he loves to work
And slave for me everyday
He'd be so much better off
If I went away
But why should I leave him
Why should I go
He'd be unhappy without me I know
I've got that man crazy for me
He's funny that way
