TOMMY DORSEY AND HIS ORCH Lyrics

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
I feel a rhythmic thumping in my heart, like the sound of drums that one might hear in the jungle, as the evening draws near.

When the jungle shadows fall
As darkness descends on the forest, a feeling of longing echoes within me.

Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
Similar to the steady, metronomic sounds of a grand clock, my mind and soul are fixated on one person.

As it stands against the wall
The clock remains static and unmoving, much like my unwavering desire for this person, no matter where they are or what they might be doing.

Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
Just as raindrops continue to drip after a summer storm, the voice within me keeps repeating the same thing - this person's name.

When the summer shower is through
Once the storm has come to an end, and the world is once again at peace, the refrain of this name continues to echo within me.

So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
An inner voice continuously whispers this person's name, as if trying to fill the void left behind by their absence.

Night and day, you are the one
Whether it's the darkness of night, or the brightness of day, this person is the only one who occupies my thoughts and feelings.

Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
From dusk till dawn, and from dawn till dusk, no matter where I may find myself, this person is always at the center of my thoughts.

Whether near to me, or far
No matter the distance that separates us, my longing for this person remains just as intense.

It's no matter darling where you are
Even if you're not near me, your presence is still deeply felt - distance doesn't diminish the strength of my feelings.

I think of you
No matter what I'm doing or where I am, thoughts of you are never far from my mind.

Day and night, night and day, why is it so
The intensity of my feelings doesn't diminish - day and night, night and day, no matter the time, the longing for you remains just as powerful.

That this longing for you follows wherever I go
No matter where I may find myself, whether it's amidst the noise and chaos of the city, or alone in my empty room, this longing for you never leaves me.

In the roaring traffic's boom
Even amidst the noise and commotion of city traffic, the sound of your name echoes in my mind.

In the silence of my lonely room
Even in the quiet solitude of my room, I can't escape the ceaseless longing I feel for you.

I think of you
No matter what else is going on, no matter what I'm doing or where I am, thoughts of you are never far behind.

Day and night, night and day
No matter the time or circumstances, the longing for you remains just as powerful and unrelenting.

Under the hide of me
Deep within my soul, a hunger and yearning for you still simmers, never quite subsiding.

There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
My feelings for you, and my longing to be with you, never fade or weaken, but continue to burn with an ever-intense desire.

And this torment won't be through
Until I can be with you, this pain and longing that I feel won't dissipate or lessen.

Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Only by being together, and expressing my love for you fully, will this constant longing begin to fade.
