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 its torment
won't be through
Till you let me
spend my life
making love to you
Day and night,
night and day
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
