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 won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
want to tell you I love your way every day
want to 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 shine shine shine
I can see them under the pines
But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
want to tell you I love your way every day
want to be with you night and day uh yeah
But don't hesitate 'cause 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
Wish I could dry one out of season
But don't hesitate 'cause your love won't wait hey
Ooh baby I love your way every day
want to tell you I love your way uuhh
want to be with you night and day
Ooh baby I love your way every day
want to tell you I love your way uuhh

I'm 32 years old. I've always loved Classic Rock. My mother got me into her and my dad's music. She just passed away 5 days ago. I had to listen to one of mom's favorites. So here I am. I love you mom. You will be missed.

I have prayed to find a sweet, patient, loving man so I could dance to this song with him. Hopefully he's out there.

I remember being in high school at a speech tournament at UCLA in Los Ángeles. It was dark and I was walking across the campus and this song was playing on someone’s stereo. The song rang out over the campus. The night was electric. The moment was euphoric. All things were possible. I will never forget that.

Don't ever forget 🎉❤

Those are the moments that make me nostalgic for those more simple times. I'd kill for a good high-school summer night
