You know the night time, darling (Night and day)
Is the right time (Night and day)
To be (Night and day)
With the one you love, now (Night and day)
[Verse 1: Ray Charles]
Say now, oh baby (Night and day)
When I come home baby, now (Night and day)
I want to be with the one I love, now (Night and day)
You know what I'm thinking of (Night and day)
[Chorus: Ray Charles]
I know the night time (Night and day)
Oh, is the right time (Night and day)
To be with the one you love now (Night and day)
I said to be with the one you love (Night and day)

You know my mother, now (Night and day)
Had to die, now (Night and day)
And my father (Night and day)
Well, he broke down and cry (Night and day)
