Night and day, you are the one

Only you 'neath 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 longin' for you follows wherever I go ?

In the roarin' 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 yearnin' burnin' inside of me

And its torment won't be through

Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you

Day and night, night and day

 

<Instrumental>

 

Night and day, you are the one

Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun

Whether near to me or far

It's no matter, baby, where you are

I think of you day and night

 

Night and day, why is it so

That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?

In the roarin' traffic's boom

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 burning inside of me

And its torment won't be through

Till you let me spend life makin' love to you

Day and night,       night and day
