Night And Day

"Night and Day" was created to fit the limited singing range of Fred Astaire, who introduced it in the 1932 musical Gay Divorce. As a lyricist, Cole Porter showed he great skill at depicting opposites: "night and day," "near or far," "traffic's boom" and "lonely room." As a melodist, he composed a compelling theme spun out to 16 bars, repeated, and brought back, somewhat abridged, within the final eight.
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 though
'Til you let me spend my life making love to you,
Day and night, Night And Day.
