<< Night And Day >>
|
--- Billie Holiday
|
|
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom
|
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 show'r 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 sun
|
Whether near 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 trough
|
'Till you spent my life making love to you
|
Day and night
|
Night and day
|
Night and day
|
|
