A live version (4:37) of the song was later released on his 1976 multi-platinum album Frampton Comes Alive!, where it gained popularity as a hit song, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The most popular cover version of this song by Big Mountain from 1994 is often mistakenly credited to Bob Marley and also to UB40 due to mislabeled MP3 files which circulated through P2P networks, similar to the artist confusion of the song Cat's in the Cradle.
Baby I Love Your Way
Big Mountian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Baby, I Love Your Way"
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
Don't hesitate
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way, everyday
Wanna be with you night and day
Moon appears to shine and light the sky
With the help of some firefly
Wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine
I can see them under the pine
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way, oh
Wanna be with you night and day, oh yeah
Well don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
I can see the sunset in your eyes
Brown and gray, blue besides
Clouds are stalking islands in the sun
I wish I could buy one
Out of season
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day, yeah
