Songfacts®:

  • This ballad was written by Uriah Heep keyboard player Ken Hensley, and basically consists only of Hensley on piano and David Byron's vocals. What the lyrics are saying is that we should always think about what we already have before thinking about what we could have had. >>>

  • Lenny K from Edison, NjThis is a beautiful song that really hits home with me. However, I have to disagree with Songfacts' interpretation of the Lyrics. To me, it's about a person moving on in life with another person after losing a very special loved one - possibly to death.
  • Joe from Rochester, NyMy favorite Uriah Heep ballad. It really sets a mood.
