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
