night and day
Christoph Klein
hi !
i'm looking for the text of "night & day" by cole porter.
i've tried to figure it out by listening to ella f. quite
a lot but there are some parts that sound suspicious to me :)
( like "there's an old satyre yearning, burning inside of me" -
that CAN'T be right, can it ? :) )
happy new year !

Here is the song, which I found at the Frank Sinatra songbook on the
Web. Cole Porter wrote the words and the music, I think, for this
song and most of his other songs.
---
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 or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, 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
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Happy New Year and keep singing right!

Here are the wanted lyrics:
Night and Day
Writer(s): Cole Porter (lyrics and music)
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 or under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you
Day and night, night and day, 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
I think of you
Day and night, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Until you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
I wish you a happy new year from Switzerland!!!

"Like the beat beat beat

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 wherever I go
In the roaring traffic's boom
in the silence of my lonely room
I thing 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 it's torment won't be through
till you let me spend
my life making love to you
day and night
night and day.
