Night And Day Lyrics - Parole E Musica - Helen Merrill

Like the beat, beat, beat, 

Of the tom-tom; 

When the jungle shadows fall, 

Like the tick, tick, tock 

Of the stately clock, 

As it stands against the wall, 

Like the drip, drip, drip, 

Of the raindrops, 

When the summer show'r is through; 

So a voice within me 

Keeps repeating, 

You, you, you 

Night and day 

You are the one, 

Only you 

Beneath the moon 

And under the sun. 

Whether near to me or far, 

It's no matter, 

Darling, where you are 

I think of you 

Night and day. 

Day and night 

Why is it so, 

That this longing for you follows 

Where-ever I go? 

In the roaring traffic's boom, 

In the silence of my lonely room, 

I think of you, 

Night and day. 

Night and day 

Under the hide of me 

There's an 

Oh, such a hungry yearning, 

Burning inside of me. 

And its torment won't be through 

Til you let me spend my life 

Making love to you, 

Day and night, 

Night and day.
