Powerful. Touches the human soul. One of the greatest songs of all time in my opinion. Up there with My Girl and Unchained Melody. The world would not be the same without this masterpiece.
I lost the love of my life and this song makes me think of him. I do have a son from the relationship I choose instead of him which I will never regret, but I do think I lost my soul mate.
Billboard's #20 song of '87. Billy and the Beaters hit #1 pop, and, AC, in Billboard. Michael Fox, and Tracy Pollan have gotta think of it as 'their song.'
the original 45 single version is 200 times better. the feeling billy puts into the song is incredible i have the single and played it to death but still a beautiful song and that sax solo wow!!!!
loved this song and family ties....when i wasnt even old enuff to subract 20yrs from my life! im 34 now and it still sitting here drinkin and reminiscing and thinkin what an amazing song this is!! got a couple long lost 'at this moment' relationships... want to subract 20yrs from my life now! LOVE THIS song!
The love will always be there on both sides, the problem is pride won't allow to forgive & reconcile. Hope this helps someone who sees themself in this song
My ex left me after 3 1/2 yrs back in May and we've been getting along lately and I been trying to be there for her and her kids who were the reason we broke up in the first place, just to show her I still love her and want to work things out eventually now that we live in separate spaces- and she told me yesterday she doesn't love me anymore. I felt like my heart melted, I Feel like dying.
My boyfriend just dumped me cold about a week ago, for no good reason, after a yearlong relationship, and this and "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge just keep running thru my mind over and over again. This song just says everything that I want to say, and it says it perfectly. The funny thing is that, when it first came out, I was going thru the same thing!
wow - I love this classic. I could never get enough of listening to Billy and his band years ago doing this song. When I'd listen to his original recording I'd get goosebumps. He has a terrific voice and this song says so much. What a great show he has going on here. Wish I'd been there. Thanks so much for posting. - Paula
Awesome song!

@pkristen100 true, you can`t write a song like this without some deep pain from lost love. and Billy sings the hell out of it.

Love doesn't hurt its the best thing since sliced bread (Kiwi humor)
it's rejection that hurts
been let down promises said and not kept hurts
don't mistake heartache for love they are different it's a part of life
wish we didn't have to but we do head up cause here it comes again LOVE
