The story behind the song

This power ballad was originally intended for the soundtrack of the 1993 film Romeo Is Bleeding, a story about a corrupt cop and Mafia aide renounced by his wife. The song's creator ultimately decided against lending it to the movie after being unimpressed by a preview screening, yet it found its home on the band's first official greatest hits album, Cross Road. It plays like an anthem of enduring devotion, a promise of steadfast love through any circumstance.
