Your cover letter shouldn't be longer than one page. It should highlight your most relevant qualifications for the job and what you have to offer the employer. In fact, as far as how long your cover letter should be, shorter is better.
Your cover letter should include an expression of your interest in knowing more about the job. At this stage in the process, you want an interview. Your cover letter shouldn't state that you want the job, because in many cases, that's premature and gives your cover letter a tone of desperation, which is counterproductive. You won't know whether you want the job until you have an interview.
