Contents

The ballad was a smash hit in Brazil and was part of the soundtrack of the Brazilian hit soap opera Laços de Família . [1]

Reception

The Dooyoo review was extremely positive, and it said: "This is a beautiful song - beautifully sung and arranged. Originally recorded by Wynonna Judd in the album Revelations , the country feel has been stripped from the song and in Fabian's hands it becomes a stunning ballad. Produced by Walter Afanasieff, he reigns in Fabian's vocals until close to the end, but still finishes the song softly. 8/10". [2]
