Baby, I Love Your Way by Peter Frampton

Dedicated to my mom and the fireflies:

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 'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine

I can see them under the pine

But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait

I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and grey and blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one out of season

But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day

(Back in the mid-1970s when the CB radio craze was in full-force my mom's CB handle was 'Firefly'. She picked that handle because of this song and because she drove a fast red car.)

Stupid fact: This song is one of the few songs that made the charts in three different decades.

Frampton's version (still my favorite) hit #12 in 1976.

Will to Power did a medley of "Baby I Love You Way/Freebird" which went to #1 in 1988.

The previously mentioned reggae version by Big Mountain hit #6 in 1994.

I wouldn't call that a 'stupid' fact. I'd call it an interesting one.

Welcome, pseudo dude, thanks for the comment!
