Songfacts®:

  • The sultry British singer Lauren Christy scored a minor hit with this song, which was the theme to the 1994 Bruce Willis movie Color of Night, which is about a psychiatrist who stumbles into the murders of some clients in a therapy group he oversees. The film was a huge flop, but the passionate song, about a woman reaching out to a distant lover who seems to be hiding some kind of trauma, got decent airplay. >>>

  • Lauren Christy wrote this song with Jud Friedman and Dominic Frontiere. Christy would make her mark as a songwriter as part of the writing team The Matrix, whose co-writes include "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne and "Extraordinary" by Liz Phair.
