Night And Day
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 is oh 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
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's oh 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
The lyrics to Diana Krall's song "Night And Day" express the all-consuming love and longing the singer feels for someone. The song begins with the declaration that this person is the only one, the one who occupies their thoughts day and night, whether they are near or far. The repetition of "night and day" emphasizes the constant presence of this person in the singer's mind.
The second verse explores the unexplainable nature of this longing. The singer wonders why their yearning for this person follows them wherever they go, whether in the busy noise of the world or in the silence of their own solitude. It's a powerful and overwhelming feeling that cannot be shaken off or ignored.
The chorus brings back the chorus from the beginning, reiterating the intensity of the singer's emotions. The words "under the hide of me" suggest that this deep longing is hidden and buried within their being. The singer describes it as a hungry yearning, a burning desire that cannot be satisfied until they are able to make love to this person.
Overall, "Night And Day" captures the universal experience of intense longing and desire for someone, where their presence infiltrates and consumes every thought and moment, day and night.

Just another in a long line of spectacular tunes performed by this tremendous jazz vocalist. It's hard to pick a favorite!

Diana Krall's voice always sounds like 1AM to me, with a single malt/rocks and city lights through the window. Great arrangement.
MrBelles
God you are so right. This would play when you go down to get a glass of water at 1 AM. Do you have any other suggestions for songs that sound like this?

Couldn't have said it better. Could have added there was someone snuggling going on.

Great comment, but it needs to be autumn or winter.

I can say it’s one of the best interpretation of this beautiful song. So delicate and sentimental. Can’t get enough of it
John Wayne
Written in 1934 by Cole Porter this is timeless song. I am fascinated by lyrics.....how can anyone write such simple and beautiful lyrics about love that can stand the test of time for almost 100 years now? I wish I could meet Cole Porter and talk with him about it. Pure genius. Diana Krall sang it perfectly. Pure art on both ends.
