Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom

When the jungle shadows fall

Like the tick, tick, tock of a 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

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

Day and night

Night and day.
