Oh, Will To Power, this song has me so conflicted. I have a feeling that music aficionados who are much more well-versed in classic rock and music history would be and/or are appalled by a medley of two crazy classic songs by Frampton and Skynyrd that sound like they’ve been blended together into what kind of sounds like a bland lounge act in a mildly classy night club. But here’s the thing. . .this was the first time I actually ever heard “Baby I Love Your Way” and “Freebird”, so for me, this song pre-dates both of them, and I really loved this song and I still really do. And that’s one of the nice things about being a kid, “Will To Power”, you have no idea what’s “supposed” to be good or bad, you just accept it and enjoy it. Now that I’m a cynical grown-up, if you’d tell me that you were going to turn “Freebird” and “Baby I Love Your Way” into a soft rock medley, I’m sure I’d cynically sneer and decry anyone who would dare to besmirch such classics. But I’d be wrong, Will To Power, because this song’s pretty damn great.
“Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley (Free Baby)”
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they’re movin’
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
Ho-no-no
Ooo baby I love your way
Every day
Ooo wanna tell you I love your way
Every day
Ooo wanna be with you night and day
Hey yeah
I love your waaaay
If I leave here tomorrow
Will ya 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 chaaange
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 ta shiiiine
I can see them
Under the piiiines
But don’t
Hesitate
‘Cause your love
Your love won’t waaaaaait
Ooo baby I love your way
Every day
Ooo wanna tell you I love your way
Night and day
Ooo baby I love your way
Every day
Every day now!
Ooo, I wanna tell you I love your way
Every day
