The narrator apologizes to his romantic partner for being selfish and not spending enough time with her, and vows to make it up to her.
Jazz music singer Wendy Moten covered the song from the television special CMT Giants: Vince Gill.
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably calling it "a pristine ballad embraced by one of country's most finely refined vocalists." She goes on to say that it contains "delivery and production strong enough to pull on the ears of other formats."[1]
The music video was filmed in Joliet, Illinois at the Rialto Square Theatre. The video was directed by John Lloyd Miller and premiered in mid-1992. It shows Gill singing on stage with a microphone while seated to an empty auditorium. Before the music begins, as Gill is walking into the theater, the sound of paparazzi can be heard in the background. It ends with Vince leaving the theater, his image disappearing before the screen fades to black.
