I don't think so

While cosmology isn't my strong suit, I doubt that the gravitational attraction of water would be strong enough to overcome the losses to the vacuum of space. I recall reading that water released from a spacecraft tends to freeze, but then the ice will eventually disappear. Honestly, I don't think you could have liquid water without a solid core to hold it together and probably an atmosphere.
