Peter Frampton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 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
want to be with you night and day

Overall Meaning

The first verse talks about the passage of time, as "shadows grow so long before [the singer's] eyes" and "suddenly the day turns into night". This sense of transience is countered by the steadfastness of the love the singer feels, as they urge their beloved not to hesitate, because "your love won't wait". The chorus repeats the title phrase, emphasizing its importance to the singer, and they express a desire to be with their love "night and day".


In the second verse, the imagery shifts to the moon and fireflies lighting up the night sky, which the singer marvels at. They again express their urgency for their beloved not to wait, as their love is steadfast and unchanging. The third verse brings in more nature imagery, with the sunset and clouds over islands in the sun. The singer expresses a wish to keep a piece of that beauty with them always, but of course the one thing they truly want is to be with their love, day and night.


Overall, "Baby I Love Your Way" is a romantic and poetic expression of love's enduring qualities, set against a backdrop of the beauty of the natural world. The repetition of the title phrase and the urgency behind the lyrics help to convey the depth of feeling the singer has for their beloved.

A man with his guitar singing straight from his heart to an audience who is visibly moved by his music. Don't intend on sounding cliched but man, what a time to have actually been alive at. Pure music, no vulgarity, profanity.
