Night and Day
Bigband Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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'are 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
No matter, darling Where you are
I think of you
Night and day

Day and night
Why it is 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
Night and day

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bigband Orchestra's "Night and Day" can be interpreted as an expression of overwhelming longing and desire for someone, as well as an acknowledgement of the intense hold that they have over the singer's thoughts and feelings. The imagery used in the first verse conjures up a sense of primal rhythms and natural phenomena, such as the beat of a tribal drum or the sound of rain, which are then juxtaposed against the constant presence of the person in question. The chorus further emphasizes this all-consuming intensity by declaring that "night and day, you are the one," and that the singer cannot escape their thoughts no matter where they go or what they do.

Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or 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 longin' 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
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day

Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or 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 longin' 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
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
