|
Like the beat, beat, beat |
|
Of the tom-tom |
|
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 shower 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 |
|
It's no matter |
|
Darling, where you are |
|
I think of you |
|
Night and day |
|
Day and night, why is it so |
|
That this longing for you follows |
|
Where ever I go? |
|
In the roaring 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 yearning |
|
Burning 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 |
