Night And Day
Kevin Kline 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 shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
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
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 think of you
Day and night, night and day
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
Day and night, night and day

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
Just like the constant beating of the drum in the jungle
When the jungle shadows fall
During the time when shadows of the jungle fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
Just like the ticking sound from the grand clock
As it stands against the wall
While it remains against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
Similar to the sound of falling raindrops
When the summer shower is through
After the summer rain is over
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
My inner voice keeps repeating your name over and over again
Night and day, you are the one
You are the one who occupies my mind during the day and through the night
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
You are the only one for me, whether it's daytime or at night
Whether near to me, or far
Whether you are near or far away from me
It's no matter darling where you are
It doesn't matter where you are, my feelings for you won't change
I think of you
You are constantly on my mind
Day and night, night and day, why is it so
I wonder why I can't stop thinking of you, day and night
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
My desire for you goes with me, no matter where I am
In the roaring traffic's boom
Even in the midst of loud traffic noise
In the silence of my lonely room
When I am alone in my quiet room
I think of you
You are always on my mind
Day and night, night and day
All the time, every day and every night
Under the hide of me
Deep within my soul
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
I have a strong and intense desire for you
And this torment won't be through
I won't be free from this pain and longing
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Until you agree to spend your life with me, making love to each other
Day and night, night and day
All the time, every day and every night
