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 show'are is through
So a voice within me keeps ɾepeating
You, you, you.
Night and [Bm]day
You are the one
Only you [A7beneath the moon [C7]
And under the sun
Whether near to [C7]me or far
No matter, darling Where you [A7are
I think of you
Night and [Bm]day
Day and [Bm]night
Why it is so
That this longing for [Dm7]you [A7
Follows wherever I go.
In the ɾoarin' tɾaffic's boom
In the silence of my [A]lonely ɾoom
I think of you
Night and [Bm]day
Night and [Bm]day
Under the hide of me
There's an oh such a hungry
Yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be [Am]through
'Til you [A7let me spend my [A]life
Making love to [C7]you
Day and [Bm]night
Night and [Bm]day
