Production


Upon request by Barbra Streisand,[3] the song was written by Ann Hampton Callaway as Streisand's wedding song to actor James Brolin.[2] It was one of two songs recorded by Streisand that were written by Callaway.[2] The song was released in mid 1999 in anticipation of the release of A Love Like Ours in October of that year.[1] Streisand performed the song at her own wedding.[4] Callaway performed the song in 2012 in her show The Streisand Songbook at 54 Below.[2]


Critical reception


Chuck Taylor from Billboard described the song as a "string-laden, gently produced ballad".[1] Another editor deemed it a "dreamy love song" with lyrics that "drool sentimentality and dedication".[1] The New York Times called it a "confectionary love song".[3] The Importance of Being Barbra deemed the song "somewhat forgettable".[5] Out described it as a "summer hit".[4] The Free Lance–Star called it "warm and cuddly".[6] Calhoun Times wrote that the song was "almost lullaby-like in its delicateness", "genuinely sweet" and "touching".[7]
