I have a feeling that, after Burt heard this song, he said to himself, "If I keep writing music like this, my career will be over very soon!"

Actually, Heavenly and Faithfully(I think thats the name of the other tune) were phenomenally successful, as they became the "Theme" and the name of the albums..
romantic excursions by JOhnny..and the albums sold well. As far as rating the song, I tend to agree that it is not in the league of some of Burt's other great songs, but still, this was a very interesting thing, that they named the albums and the concepts around Burt's 2 featured tunes.(one on each album)
