Night & Day
Tony Evans & His Orchestra 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 song Night & Day by Tony Evans & His Orchestra depict a hard-working man who has had a long day and should be sleeping, but finds comfort in his lover's presence. The opening line "It's been a hard day's night, and I been working like a dog" sets the tone for the song and conveys the exhaustion the man is feeling. Despite this, he looks forward to coming home to his lover and the love and affection that awaits him. He expresses gratitude for the opportunity to provide for his partner and is willing to work hard to make her happy. The repetition of the phrase "You know I feel okay" underscores the relief the man feels in the presence of his lover.
The song's narrative follows the traditional structure of a blues song, with the singer singing about his troubles and then finding solace in his lover. The lyrics have a rhythmic and repetitive quality, which is common in blues music. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the upbeat tempo of the song creates a positive and lighthearted atmosphere, even though the lyrics describe a hard day's work. This juxtaposition is characteristic of many blues songs and adds depth to the song's meaning.
