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 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.
