Lyrics

Night and Day
Cole Porter

Like the beat, beat, beat pop the tom-tom,
When the jungle shadows fall.
Like the tick, tick, tick 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 just 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.

Night and day why is it so?
That this longing for you follows wherever 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, burnin’ inside of me.
And it’s torment went be through,
Til you let me spend my life,
Making love to you night and day. night and day.

Solo

Night and day under the hide of me.
There’s an, oh, such a hungry yearning, burnin’ inside of me.
And it’s torment went be through,
’Til you let me spend my life,
Making love to you day and night. night and day.
Day and night. night and day.
Day and night. night and day.
Scat. Night and day.
Why is it so every night and day.
Night and day.
