Song lyrics to Night and Day (1932) Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter, Song and dance performed by Fred Astaire , Ginger Rogers in The Gay Divorcee
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 rain drops
When the summer showers through
A voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon, under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It’s no matter darlin’, where you are
I think of you night and day
Night and day, why’s it so
That this longing for you, follows 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’s an ooh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And this torment won’t be through
Till you let me spend my life
Making love to you
Day and Night
Night and Day
