"Night and Day" is a popular song by Cole Porter. It was written for the 1932 musical play Gay Divorce. It is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook and has been recorded by dozens of artists.
Fred Astaire introduced "Night and Day" on stage, and his recording of the song was a #1 hit. He performed it again in the 1934 film version of the show, renamed The Gay Divorce, and it became one of his signature pieces.
There are several accounts on how he got inspiration to compose the song. One mentioning that he was inspired by Islamic prayer when he visited Morocco. Another popular legend has it he was inspired by the Moorish architecture of the Alcazar Hotel in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
The song was so associated with Porter, that when Hollywood first filmed his life story in 1946, the movie was entitled Night and Day.
"Night and Day" é uma canção escrita por Cole Porter em 1932 para o musical "The Gay Divorceè", que mais tarde foi adaptado em um filme homónimo estrelado por Fred Astaire e Ginger Rogers.
A canção tornou-se ao longo dos anos um dos mais famosos standards de jazz, interpretado por Fred Astaire, Bill Evans, Art Tatum, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Dionne Warwick, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Bassey, Ringo Starr, Sondre Lerche, Doris Day, Charlie Parker, Deanna Durbin, Jamie Cullum, Etta James, entre outros.
Em 1990, foi regravada pela banda U2 para o álbum "Red Hot And Blue", em tributo a Porter e em apoio a uma campanha contra a AIDS.
O conjunto de músicas que compôs ao longo da sua carreira é imenso. Quase todas redundaram em enormes sucessos, temas obrigatórios de qualquer big band, cantor ou grupo de jazz. Tornaram-se standards. Porter foi o compositor que mais contribuiu para o Great American Songbook. Qual o seu segredo?
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
Its 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 traffics boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and day

Night and day
Under the hide of me
Theres 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
