Porter : Night Ana Day (Gay Divorce, 1932)

Kiri Te Kanawa
Album : Porter : Kiri Sings Porter

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
Night and day, 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
Night and day, 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
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
Night and day, 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
Night and day, 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
