Like the beat-beat-beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick-tick-tick of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip-drip-drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower 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, darlin', where you are
I think of you night and day

Day and night
Why is it so
That this longing for you follows me wherever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you
Night and day

Day and night
Under the hide of me
There is, oh, such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day
Yeah, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darlin', where you are
I think of you night and day

Day and night
Oh, why is it so
That this longing for you follows me wherever 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 is, oh, such a hungry yearning burning deep inside of me
And this torment won't be through
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
