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 /
Day and night, night and day, 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 /
Day and night, night and day /
Under the hide of me /
There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me /
And this torment won't be through /
Until you let me spend my life making love to you /
Day and night, night and day.
