The story behind the song

Dan Hill is a Canadian pop singer-songwriter known for his heartfelt ballads. While this song isn't one of his most famous, it clearly speaks to the intense, almost unbelievable feeling of finding true love. The lyrics express a deep, consuming need for another person, a sense of survival tied to their presence, and the almost "crazy" realization of such profound affection. It captures that moment when you truly open your heart to someone you never thought you could love so completely.
