Night & Day
Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am waiting for you
I would be lying
And I´m gonna cry
And when the night, misses you too
It will be late to tell you what I mean to you
Now I know I ´m still a part of your game and I lose
When I gave you the right you just hid me the truth
While you're feeling so high I´m still feeling so blue
I am so close to yesterday but there's nothing to do
And it seems like my day, it will turn in black, it´s true
I suppose that I loved the way you see the moon
And I know
That if the sky falls down
When you are so so far
Just in December night
On Sunday's night
In A dark day's night
And if someday I die
I hope you understand
You made me feel so high
Just tell me why
You let me down
Though when that day arrives
Then you will regret and cry
And when you´ll get to realize
You´ll wanna come
But I have gone
And if I'm still
Believe in you
Live in your eyes
But I´m gonna fall
Between your arms
Under the moon
Before you walk away like
Always used to do
Now I know I was a part of your game and I have lost
Or just maybe the fool who felt in love with you
When I gave you the right you just hid me the truth
While you're feeling so high I´m still feeling so blue
I am so close to yesterday but there's nothing to do
And it seems like my day, it will turn black, it´s true
I suppose that I loved the way you see the moon
And I know
That if the sky falls down
When you are so so far
Just in December night
On Sunday's night
In a dark day's night
And if someday I die
I hope you understand
You made me feel so high
Just tell me why
You let me down
Though when that day arrives
Then you will regret and cry
And when you´ll get to realize
You ´ll wanna come
But I have gone
And when the night falls down
I´ll walk away on grass
And when I will wake up
You won't be right
Here by my side
And how to understand
Real dreams might never die
This is my real life
Through all this time
You haven´t come
The lyrics to Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey's song "Night & Day" express the pain and heartbreak of unrequited love. The singer admits that despite waiting for the object of their affection, they know deep down that it's unlikely to happen. The night only reminds them of how much they miss the person, and they lament that by the time they can properly express their feelings, it will be too late. The singer feels foolish for falling in love but also angrily confronts the person for hiding the truth and leaving them feeling blue while the other person feels so high. The song is a bittersweet plea for love and understanding, with the understanding that it may never come.
The repetition of the line "And if someday I die / I hope you understand / You made me feel so high / Just tell me why / You let me down" serves as a reminder of the pain of unrequited love and how deeply it can affect someone. The line "Though when that day arrives / Then you will regret and cry / And when you'll get to realize / You'll wanna come / But I have gone" is especially powerful, indicating that the person may not realize what they've lost until it's too late.

And if I say
If I tell you
I am waiting for you
That I'm waiting for you
I would be lying
It wouldn't be true.
And I´m gonna cry
I'll be sad.
And when the night, misses you too
When I miss you at night
It will be late to tell you what I mean to you
I won't have the chance to tell you how much you mean to me.
Now I know I ´m still a part of your game and I lose
I realize that I'm still a player in your game and I lost.
Or just maybe the fool who fell in love with you
Perhaps I'm just a fool who fell in love with you.
When I gave you the right you just hid me the truth
When I gave you the power, you kept the truth from me.
While you're feeling so high I´m still feeling so blue
While you're feeling happy, I'm still sad.
I am so close to yesterday but there's nothing to do
I'm stuck in the past, but there's nothing I can do.
And it seems like my day, it will turn in black, it´s true
It looks like my day will be terrible.
I suppose that I loved the way you see the moon
I think I loved the way you looked at the moon.
And I know
I'm aware
That if the sky falls down
If everything goes wrong
When you are so so far
When you're too far away
Just in December night
On any random December night
On Sunday's night
Or on a Sunday night
In A dark day's night
On a really dark night
And if someday I die
If I ever die
I hope you understand
I hope you comprehend
You made me feel so high
You made me happy
Just tell me why
Just explain to me why
You let me down
You disappointed me.
Though when that day arrives
But when that day comes
Then you will regret and cry
You'll feel remorse and sadness
And when you´ll get to realize
And when you come to the realization
You´ll wanna come
You'll want to come back to me
But I have gone
But I won't be there.
And if I'm still
Even if
Believe in you
I still believe in you
Live in your eyes
I'm still living in your eyes
But I´m gonna fall
But I'm going to fail
Between your arms
In your embrace
Under the moon
Beneath the moon
Before you walk away like
Before you leave me behind like you always do
And when the night falls down
At nightfall
I´ll walk away on grass
I'll walk alone on some grass
And when I will wake up
And when I wake up
You won't be right
You won't be there
Here by my side
Beside me
And how to understand
And how can I understand
Real dreams might never die
Our true dreams might never come true
This is my real life
This is my current reality
Through all this time
During all this time
You haven´t come
You haven't returned.
