Artie Shaw and His Orchestra With Helen Forrest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The same old hoodoo follows me about
The same old pounding in my heart whenever I think of you
And, darling, I think of you
Day in and day out
Day out, day in
I needn't tell you how my days begin
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain, come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips
And the pounding becomes
The ocean's roar
A thousand drums
Can't you see it's love
Can there be any doubt
When there it is
Day in, day out

Day in, day out
Every single day without a break
The same old hoodoo follows me about
I can't shake off this curse that haunts me constantly
The same old pounding in my heart whenever I think of you
My heart races every time I see you in my thoughts
And, darling, I think of you
My beloved, you are always in my mind
Day in and day out
Every single day, without exception
Day out, day in
Starting from the morning, till I sleep at night
I needn't tell you how my days begin
I don't need to explain how my days start, how much I long for you
When I awake, I awaken with a tingle
When I wake up, I feel a tingling sensation, thinking of you
One possibility in view
One hope in my heart
That possibility of maybe seeing you
That possibility of seeing your face again
Come rain, come shine
No matter what happens, through thick and thin
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Just being with you, makes the day perfect for me
Then I kiss your lips
When I kiss you on the lips
And the pounding becomes
My heart thumps so wildly that it feels like
The ocean's roar
The roar of the entire ocean
A thousand drums
Like the sound of one thousand drums
Can't you see it's love
Isn't it obvious that this is true love?
Can there be any doubt
Is there any reason to doubt this love?
When there it is
Because it's right there
Day in, day out
Every single day without missing a beat.

There is only one word that can describe this recording; sublime. Ms Forrest uses her warmth and brilliant intonation to give meaning to the wonderful lyrics of this song. Virtually all the other vocalists go for the Jazz shtick and end up lost in the Andes. As for Artie...he will always remembered as one of the greatest musicians of the 20th Century.
