Night & Day
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun.
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter darlin', where you are
I think of you, night and day.
Night and day, why's it so,
That this longing for you, follows wherever I go.
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 old, such a hungry yearning, burning inside of me;
And this torment won't be through,
Till you let me spend my life making love to you;
Day and night, night and day

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
