Night And Day
Ella Fitzgerald & Buddy Bregman Orchestra Lyrics

Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom When the jungle shadows fall
Just like how the sound of the tom-tom continues to beat even in the shadows of the jungle, my love for you never fades away regardless of the circumstances.

Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock As it stands against the wall
Similar to how the clock keeps ticking and tocking on the wall, I keep thinking and obsessing over you, regardless of whether you're close or far.

Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops When the summer shower is through So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
Just like how the raindrops keep dripping even after the shower is over, a voice inside me keeps repeating your name over and over again.

Night and day, you are the one Only you beneath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me or far It's no matter, darling, where you are I think of you
Whether it is day or night, you are the only one in my heart. Regardless of where you are or how far you are, I can't help but constantly think of you.

Day and night, night and day, why is it so That this longing for you follows wherever I go In the roaring traffic's boom In the silence of my lonely room?
I wonder why this strong longing for you never fades away and follows me everywhere, even in the busiest of streets and in the silence of my own room.

Under the hide of me There's an, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me And this torment won't be through Until you let me spend my life making love to you
There's a deep, intense yearning within me that is waiting to be fulfilled. This longing won't end until I can spend my entire life loving and being with you.

Day and night, night and day
My thoughts of you never fade away, whether it is day or night.
