It was also the title song to a made-for-television movie 'Forever Love' which aired the same year, starring Reba and Tim Matheson. It is her second single to have a movie named after one of her songs, the first being 1991's "Is There Life Out There".
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price of 'Billboard' gave the song a mixed review, praising the "sentimental lyric" and "pretty melody" while criticizing the "overly lush pop production". She also criticized McEntire's vocal by saying that it "bounces between being appropriately vulnerable and intimate during the verses to going a little too far on the soaring chorus."
Music Video
The music video for the song was directed by Gerry Wenner, and was filmed to coincide with the movie's release. It is the only solo video released from Reba's 'If You See Him' record. Filmed in Pasadena, CA over one day, it shows footage from the movie, interspersed with scenes of Reba performing the song in a garden.
