This is just another superb love song that Alabama has taken to the
Number 1 spot in their illustrious career. This is an ideal song to
put in your stereo during candlelight dinners or quiet times spent
with the one you love.
****Here is how I play the opening piano solo on guitar. It's
not exactly how it's supposed to be, but it's close.
