Will To Power: Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley Lyrics
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, your love won’t wait oh no no
Ooh baby I love your way every day
Ooh wanna tell you I love your way every day
Ooh wanna be with you night and day
Hey yeah I love your way
If I leave here tomorrow
Will you still remember me
For I must be traveling on now
There’s so many places I gotta see
But if I stayed here with you girl
Things just wouldn’t be the same
‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now
And this bird will never change
And this bird will never change
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
With the help of some fireflies
I wonder how they have the power to shine
I can see them under the pines
But don’t hesitate
‘Cause your love won’t wait
Ooh baby I love your way (every day)
Ooh wanna tell you I love your way (night and day)
Ooh baby I love your way (every day)
Every day now
Ooh wanna tell you I love your way
(Night and day, night and day)
I love your way
Ooh baby I love your way
(‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now)
Give me your way, wanna tell you I love your way
(As free as a bird now)
Ooh baby I love your way
Ooh baby I love your way (every day)
Ooh wanna tell you I love your way (night and day)
Ooh baby I love your way (every day, every day)
Ooh wanna tell you I love your way
(Night and day, night and day)
Ooh baby I love your way (night and day)
