The story behind the song

This song captures the bittersweet ache of a love that exists only in one's imagination. It's about seeing a person everywhere and pretending a shared connection, even though "no one will ever know" the depth of those feelings. The singer's heart is beyond control, ruled entirely by this secret affection, even as he acknowledges "it's only make believe." Conway Twitty, known for his romantic and sentimental themes, co-wrote this song, which became a significant hit early in his career. It speaks to the universal experience of unspoken devotion, a private world where love flourishes, even if it's just a dream.
