|
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. |
