- Night And Day LyricsCole Porter
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom
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'r 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 sun
Whether near 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 yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be trough
'Till you spent my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day
Like the beat, beat, beat of the tomtom
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'r 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 sun
Whether near me or far
It's no matter, darling, where you are
I think of you
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 yearning
Burning inside of me
And its torment won't be trough
'Till you spent my life making love to you
Day and night
Night and day
Night and day

When we think about the deeper meaning of the song, 'Night And Day' by Billie Holiday has a very strong feeling of longing and desire that goes along with the idea of a fire inside. The words express hopeless want and the notion that this want can only be fulfilled through the heavenly bond and acquaintance consisting of the one whose praises are being sung. The song lyrics mainly point out the aspects of love, heartbreak, solitude, angst, and despair, but at the same time emphasize the need for longing and desire as well as love and devotion. The lyrics speak of longing and desire, which might be too strong for very young kids. Their meaning is indeed soft and not direct but the inference of craving and making love suggests a certain degree of sensuality that might call for parental guidance.
