The story behind the song

This song carries a confident message of patience and eventual triumph in love, suggesting that with enough time, a lost love will inevitably return. Originally written by Jerry Ragovoy, the song was first recorded by jazz trombonist Kai Winding before soul singer Irma Thomas released her own R&B cover. The Rolling Stones, known for their gritty, rhythmically driven sound and blues roots, later covered the song with additional lyrics. At its heart, it plays like a declaration of unwavering certainty in the face of temporary separation.
