The story behind the song

This power ballad captures the ache of a love that has ended, even when it felt like everything. It speaks to the quiet aftermath, where the memory of being together still lingers, but the reality is living without. Though originally released in 1987 with a Christmas theme, it found its most widespread recognition in a slightly edited version for the 1990 film Pretty Woman. At its heart, it's a song about the bittersweet echo of a profound connection that, for whatever reason, is now over.
