All Through the Night

Ella Fitzgerald · Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Songbook [1956]

The day is my enemy, the night my friend

For I'm always so alone

Till the day draws to an end

But when the sun goes down

And the moon comes through

To the monotone of the evening's drone

I'm all alone with you



All through the night

I delight in your love

All through the night, you're so close to me

All through the night, from a height far above

You and your love brings me ecstasy



When dawn comes to waken me

You're never there at all

I know you've forsaken me

Till the shadows fall

But then once again

I can dream

I've the right

To be close to you

All through the night
