Peter Kenneth Frampton (born 22 April 1950) is an English born naturalized American musician, singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. He was previously associated with the bands Humble Pie and The Herd. Frampton's international breakthrough album was his live release, Frampton Comes Alive!. The album sold over 6 million copies in the United States alone and spawned several hits. Since then he has released several major albums. He has also worked with David Bowie and both Matt Cameron and Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, among others. Frampton is best known for such hits as "Breaking All The Rules", "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Do You Feel Like We Do", and "I'm in You", which remain staples on classic-rock radio. He has also appeared as himself in television shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy. Frampton is known for his work as a guitar player and particularly with a Talkbox and his tenor voice.
Frampton was born in Bromley, England. He attended Bromley Technical High School, at which his father, Owen Frampton, was a teacher and the head of the Art department. He first became interested in music when he was seven years old. Upon discovering his grandmother's banjolele (a banjo-shaped ukulele) in the attic, he taught himself to play, and later taught himself to play guitar and piano as well. At age eight he started taking classical music lessons.
Please give me strength, we've just begun
If you held a secret, please let me be the one to know
Going away, well I recall
Remember when you would leave me here
Send me a postcard
Signed, sent from the sun
I think, I can hear you
You were my only one
We've just begun
Why don't we learn that we must treasure
When you choose a lover, she must be aware
Photographs you take, show loving eyes
Smiling faces that can hide the truth
You don't care if they seem to stare
What you got, you ain't about to share
Help me, don't hurt me, I'm hanging on to a dream
If you lose this lover, you're going to have to be so strong
Don't run away, hey I recall
Remember when you would leave me here
Send me a postcard
Signed, sent from the sun
I think, I can hear you
You were my only one
We've just begun
We've just begun
We've just begun
We've just begun
We've just begun
