"Night And Day" lyrics
"Night And Day"
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath 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 longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' 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 yearnin' burnin' inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
[Instrumental]
Night and day, you are the one
Only you 'neath the moon or under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, baby, where you are
I think of you day and night
Night and day, why is it so
That this longin' for you follows wherever I go ?
In the roarin' traffic's boom
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 burning inside of me
And its torment won't be through
Till you let me spend life makin' love to you
Day and night, night and day
Cole Porter wrote this song for the 1932 musical "Gay Divorce".
Fred Astaire introduced this song on stage and recorded it with the Leo Reisman orchestra. That version was a number-one hit.
Frank Sinatra recorded the song at least five times: with Axel Stordahl in 1942 and 1947, with Nelson Riddle in 1956 for "A Swingin' Affair!" album, with Don Costa in 1961 for "Sinatra and Strings", with Joe Beck (a disco version) in 1977.
