Lyrics Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis

Night and Day

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 shower is through

So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one

Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun

Whether near to me or far

It's no matter, darling, where you are

I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so

That this longin1 for you follows wherever I go ?

In the roarin' traffic's boom

In the silence of my lonely room

I think of you day and night

Night and day, under the hide of me There's an oh, such a hungry yeamin' burnin' inside of me

And its torment won't be through

Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you

Day and night, night and day

(Instrumental)

Night and day, you are the one

Only you 'neath the moon or under die sun

Whether near to me or far

It's no matter, baby, where you are

I think of you day and night

Night and day, why is it so

That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?

In the roarin' traffic's boom

Silence of my lonely room

I think of you day and night

Night and day, under the hide of me

There's an oh, such a hungry burning inside of me

And its torment won't be through

Till you let me spend life makin' love to you

Day and night, night and day
