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 showers through
So a voice within me keeps repeating
You, you, you, night and day
You are the one,
only you beneath the moon and another sun
Well I'm near to me all 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 si lence of my lonely room,
I think of you.
Night and day, night and day
Under the hide of me
There's no 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
Like the beep, beep,
beep 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 showers 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
Oh, 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 no such a hungry yearning
burning inside of me.
And it's tor ment won't be through,
till you let me spend my life
making love to you day and night,
night and day.
