Night And Day [vocals] Ella Fitzgerald

The speaker in the transcription is expressing their intense longing for someone. They compare this feeling to the constant beat of a drum, the ticking of a clock, and the sound of raindrops. The speaker can't stop thinking about this person day and night, no matter where they are. They wonder why this longing follows them everywhere, even in busy traffic or in their lonely room. The speaker yearns to be with this person and expresses a desire to spend their life making love to them. The feeling of longing won't go away until they can be together day and night. 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 raindrop, 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 it's 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 it's torment won't be through, till you let me spend my life making love to you day and night. Night and day.
