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, 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, 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
Until you let me spend my life making love to you

Day and night, night and day

    Why is it that songs back then were not only melodicaly more beautiful but lyrically too. They don't come like this anymore!!
