Night And Day
The Rat Pack 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, drip of the raindrops
When the summer show'are is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you.
Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon
And under the sun
Whether near to me or far
No matter, darling Where you are
I think of you
Night and day
Day and night
Why it is so
That this longing for you
Follows wherever I go.
In the roarin' traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day
Night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry
Yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
The Rat Pack's "Night and Day" is a timeless classic that speaks of the intensity of a love that can invade one's thoughts and consume their being throughout the daytime and nighttime. The lyrics are metaphorical, using sounds of the night, such as the "beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom," or the "drip, drip, drip of the raindrops," to describe the intensity of the voice within that keeps repeating "you, you, you." This phrase expresses how the love interest is always on the singer's mind, no matter where they may be or how far apart they are.
The song speaks of a longing that is so intense that it creeps into every corner of the singer's life, even in the "roarin' traffic's boom" or the "silence of my lonely room." The lyrics speak of a desire that will not subside until the love interest reciprocates, "let me spend my life making love to you." The words convey the helplessness that comes with this overwhelming passion and the only hope of relief is with the love interest's response.
Overall, "Night and Day" is a beautifully written love song that captures the ferocity of longing and passion. It is a classic that is still relevant today, and its sentiment is sure to be recognized and appreciated by listeners everywhere.

Why do I feel this way

In the silence of my lonely room
Even in the quiet of my room

Deep within me

An intense and insatiable
Yearnin' burnin' inside of me

And its torment won't be through
And it will not stop until
Til you let me spend my life
You let me dedicate my life
Making love to you
To loving and giving myself to you
Day and night

Night and day
All the time
