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 appetite.
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 an d day
Under the eye 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
