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
|
Day and night
|
Night and day
|
Why is it so
|
That this longing for you follows wherever I go?
|
In the roarin' traffic’s boom
|
In the silence of my lonely room
|
I think of you
|
Day and night
|
Night and day
|
Under the hide of me
|
There’s an oh such a hungry yearnin' burnin' 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
|
You are one
|
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
|
Whether near to me or far
|
It’s no matter, baby, where you are
|
I think of you
|
Day and night
|
Night and day
|
Why is it so
|
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
|
In the roarin' traffic’s boom
|
In the silence of my lonely room
|
I think of you
|
Day and night
|
Night and day
|
Under the height of me
|
There’s an oh such a hungry yearnin' burnin' inside of me
|
And its torment won’t be through
|
'Til you let me spend life making love to you
|
Day and night
|
Night and day |
