"Night and Day" is a popular song by Cole Porter that was written for the 1932 musical Gay Divorce. It is perhaps Porter's most popular contribution to the Great American Songbook and has been recorded by dozens of musicians.
Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett recorded a version of the song for their second collaborative album Love for Sale.

Lyrics
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon
Under the sun
Whether near to me or far
It's no matter, darlin', where you are
I think of you night and day
Night and day, why's 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, ooh, such a hungry yearning
Burning inside of me
And this torment won't be through
Till you let me spend my life making love to you
Day and night, night and day
