  • Shadows grow so long before my eyes
    And they're moving across the page
    Suddenly, the day turns into night
    Far away from the city

    But don't hesitate
    'Cause your love, your love won't wait, oh, no, no

    (Ooh) Oh, baby, I love your way every day
    (Ooh) Wanna tell you I love your way every day
    (Ooh) Wanna be with you night and day, hey, yeah
    I love your way

    If I leave here tomorrow
    Would you still remember me
    For I must be traveling on now
    There's so many places I gotta see

    But if I stayed here with you, girl
    Things just wouldn't be the same
    'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
    And this bird will never change
    And this bird will never change

    Shadows grow so long before my eyes
    With the help of some fireflies
    I wonder how they have the power to shine
    I can see them under the pines

    But don't hesitate
    'Cause your love, your love won't wait

    Ooh, baby, I love your way (every day)
    (Ooh) Wanna tell you I love your way (night and day)
    (Ooh) Oh, baby, I love your way (every day)
    Every day now
    (Ooh) I wanna tell you I love your way (night and day, night and day)
    I love your way
    (Ooh) Oh, baby, I love your way ('cause I'm as free as a bird now)
    Give me your way, wanna tell you I love your way (as free as a bird now)
    Oh, baby, I love your ways

    (Ooh) Oh, baby, I love your way (every day)
    (Ooh) Wanna tell you I love your way (night and day)
    (Ooh) Oh, baby, I love your way (every day, every day)
    (Ooh) wanna tell you I love your way (night and day, night and day, oh-oh)
    (Ooh) Oh, baby, I love your way Writer/s: Peter Kenneth Frampton

  • Larst from TexasGood question. Side note: they didn’t get permission to publish either song. They had to pay out 200% of profits to the publishers. 100% to each. Sad!
  • Dondon from Tampa, FlI came here seeking information on why they used the wrong lyrics in the second verse of "Baby I Love Your Way". Since it is a medley of two different songs, I understand that quite a bit of artistic license should be allowed. But I don't really understand why they re-used the same opening line from the first verse in the second verse. "Shadows grow so long before my eyes, with the help of some fireflies" does not really make much sense. In the original version of the song by Peter Frampton, the second verse was "Moon appears to shine and light the sky, with the help of some fireflies," and that makes much more sense.
