Night And Day
Faces Down Quartet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the jungle shadows fall.
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip, drip, drop of the rain drops
When the summer shower is through.
So a voice within me keeps repeating
you, you, you.
You are the one.
Only you beneath the moon
under the sun.
Weather near to me or far
itâ??s no matter darling, where you are.
I think of you
night and day.
Day and night.
Why is it so
hat this longing for you follows where ever I go?
And the roaring trafficâ??s boom
in the silence of my lonely room.
I think of you night and day.
Day and night.
Under the hide of me.
Thereâ??s an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And its torment wonâ??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.
Thereâ??s an oh such and oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me.
And its torment wonâ??t be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you.
Day and night .
Night and
day.
Night and day.

It's really great these guys are continuing the Inspirations tradition.

I do believe the Young Inspirations sing with more vigor than the original group. I love them all though. The Inspirations have always been my favorite gospel group since they first came out in the early 70s. I pray these guys will always use their talent to glorify the Lord.
David Johns
The talent among this group is likely the best out there. I spend part of each day listening to them. A great way to spend a big part of the day; especially if you are older than dirt like me. I hope they will always be under God's watchful eye and sing for decades to come.

Been enjoying The Inspiration Quartet since I was a teenager and I'm 68 years old. What I appreciate most is their love and dedication to our Heavenly Father. I believe what they sing is truly real to them. They look like Christians, too.
