Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Night and day, day and night, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go?
In the roaring traffic's boom
In the silence of my lonely room
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
And its torment won't be through
'Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
[Verse 7]
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
'Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
