BRENDA LEE LYRICS “Night And Day”

(Cole Porter)

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

And a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you , you, you
Night and day you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
No matter darling where you are, I think of you
Night and day, day and night, oh 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
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

And its torment won’t be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Day and night, night and day
