Oh Baby I Love Your Way

Oh Baby I Love Your Way

Baby, I Love Your Way/Freebird Medley - Will To Power

Shadows grow so long before my eyesAnd they're moving across the pageSuddenly the day turns into nightFar away from the city
But don't hesitate'Cause your love, your love won't wait ho-no-no
Ooh baby I love your way every dayOoh wanna tell you I love your way every dayOoh wanna be with you night and day
Hey yeahI love your way
If I leave here tomorrowWill you still remember meFor I must be traveling on nowThere's so many places I gotta see
But if I stayed here with you girlThings just wouldn't be the same'Cause I'm as free as a bird nowAnd this bird will never change,And this bird will never change...
Shadows grow so long before my eyesWith the help of some firefliesI wonder how they have the power to shineI 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 nowOoh wanna tell you I love your way (night and day, night and day)I love your wayOoh baby I love your way ('cause I'm as free as a bird now)Give me you way, wanna tell you I love your way (A 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, oh-o)Ooh baby I love your way (night and day)



Another song. Why do these keep popping into my head? I love music and I love to sing, but this is different. It's almost like its a therapy. Strange that at just the perfect time, a perfect song will pop into the head and beg to be released.
Anyway, as I read through the lyrics I was actually amazed at how they spoke to me. Just the refrain alone has such profound meaning in my life. I LOVE Bob's way. I loved them in his lifetime and I have found that, in his death , I have come to appreciate his ways more than ever. Even the quirkiest of them. The dumb things like the incessant teasing and the messes that he left for me. The things I hated like being "trapped" between him and the counter as I washed dishes. The little piles of papers that he had all over and yes even the mounds and mounds of things he "packed" into our basement, and the toothpaste in the sink. What I wouldn't give to have his ways one more day. But then I know that I would want them to stay forever and ONE more day would never be long enough.

"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" You did leave me and the question of whether I would rmember you is ridiculous. How could I NOT remember YOU? I want to know if YOU still remember ME? Do you remember the way I looked to you? The way I smelled? You always liked that! Do you remember the sweet looks we shared and holding my hand and rubbing my head and me burrying my head into your chest as you held me close and promised me everything would be alright? You do have many things to see now, and I do too. The things I see now have different meaning and different looks. I once saw the beauty in everything and now I have to almost search for that same beauty. The things you must be seeing are, I am sure, more beautiful that I can even imagine. In many ways I am so jealous, yet I know my job here is to continue to raise our family in YOUR WAYS and to search and find my happiness.

"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... " You're right Honey. If you stayed with me, things wouldn't be the same. Your life here was a living hell the last 4 months. I knew it. I could see it in your eyes. You hated that trach and then when the feeding tube was inevitable....you really felt "sunk." All of a sudden you didn't want to go out and you had no desire to have anyone over here. You slept and existed and that was about it. I couldn't even interest you in the computer or a board game, both things you loved. The Simpson's came and went and you wouldn't even be interested in that. Sienfeld didn't even make you laugh. And though you often wanted to love on me, you didn't even have the strength to do that. A kiss was an effort. But you are free and you can now have your life again and be happy. You have the ultimate freedom and for that I am happy and thankful.

"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." I bet the shadows from heaven are long. And with your eyes, the brightest firefly must be the most awesome sight. As the nights get longer and the days shorter, I am reminded of how our life together was shortened and I am sad but happy. I couldn't have taken another day of having to see you in the state that you were in. The pain and agony that became a part of your everyday existence pierced my heart more than I can ever explain. So many times I told God that I wanted to change places with you. I wanted you to just be able to love life again. That wasn't His plan.. His plan was to make sure that He places before me, daily ways to acknowledge your presence and your ways. His plans were for you to be free. Truly FREE.

For you I am thankful. For you I love. For you I move on and find my happiness. That is what you would want. That is what you told me to do. Ooh Baby I love your ways, and I WILL be with you all my days. If only in thought and heart.
I Love you Honey. I honestly I love you. Thats another song for later!
