Night And Day
((French Version: Tout Le Jour, Toute La Nuit (Damia) - 1937))
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First performance: Fred Astaire - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists
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
Till you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
