Night & Day
The King of Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, ow
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel OK
When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight
It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright
The lyrics to The King's Singers' version of Night and Day, written by Cole Porter, are actually from The Beatles' song "A Hard Day's Night". The song is essentially about the idea that even though the singer has had a really tough day at work, he can find solace and comfort when he gets home to his partner. The lyrics highlight the importance of having someone by your side who can make everything feel alright, despite the hardships of daily life.
The repetition of the phrase "it's been a hard day's night" emphasizes just how challenging the day has been, and the reference to "working like a dog" suggests that the singer has been working really hard, perhaps even to the point of exhaustion. However, the arrival home provides a personal and emotional release, where the stress of work and the grind of daily life pale in comparison to the comfort, support, and love of being with his partner.
The song, despite its simple structure and message, speaks to a universal truth and is relatable on many levels. The sense of relief that comes from being in the company of someone special is a feeling that most of us can relate to when we've had a tough day or experienced great emotional turmoil. In the end, the song is a reminder that with the right person by your side, the hardships of the world can be overcome.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
CHORUS:
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
VERSE 2:
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
VERSE 3:
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored
VERSE 4:
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint
By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
