Irish rock band U2 recorded a version of "Night and Day" that was featured on the 'Red Hot + Blue' benefit compilation album to fight AIDS (1990). Written by Cole Porter in 1932, it reached #2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and presaged the electronic sound the band would explore on 'Achtung Baby' the following year.
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
