The Sinatra Songbook

Night and Day

Writer(s): Cole Porter
Date:

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

--

the music publishing business) Hontz

Here you are:
-------------
Night and Day by Cole Porter

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 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 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

Bye

Night and Day
from "Gay Divorce" - 1932

-VERSE-
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows falls,
Like the tick, tick, tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall,
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops
When a sum'r show'r is through,


So a voice within me keeps repeating

You -- You -- You.

-REFRAIN-
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 think of you, night and day.
Night and day under the hide of me
there's an, oh, such a hungy 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.

>>Bonus Cole Lyric<<
Don't inquire of Georgie Raft why his cow has never calfed,
Georgie's bull is beautiful, but he's gay!"
-From the song "Farming" in the 1942 musical Let's Face It
