Ella Fitzgerald Night & Day Lyrics

Night & Day Lyrics

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 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 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 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



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
