On the WaterfrontOn the shoreI look and see Light from far away Come back to me From this very place Where we once stood With your hand in mine And life was good That was yesterday Now all the lights are gone And I'm here alone I'm just hanging on I still think of you Every night and day And I try to think of words to say That would bring you back inside my life But the pain is strong It hurts me like a knife Well there is no use living inside this dream On the waterfront They say that life goes on But I'm not so sure Can I make the grade Can I endure When I'm here alone On these lonely nights On the waterfront On the shore I look and see Light from far away Come back to me From this very place Where we once stood With your hand in mine And life was good And I try to think of words to say That would bring you back inside my life But the pain is strong It hurts me like a knife Well there is no use living inside this dream On the waterfront On the waterfront |
