Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
Don't hesitate
'Cause your love won't wait
Ooh baby 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
Ooh baby I love your way (everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
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
Ooh baby I love your way(everyday)
Wanna tell you I love your way
Wanna be with you night and day
