[edit] Trivia
- The music video features some footage of Karen and Richard at work in the studio for:
- After long enough of being alone,
- Everyone must face their share
- of loneliness.
- In my own time nobody knew
- The pain I was going through;
- And waiting was all my heart could do.
- Hope was all I had until you came,
- Maybe you can't see
- how much you mean to me.
- You were the dawn breaking the night;
- The promise of morning light...
- After Karen sang "The promise of morning light", it faded from the studio to a fountain in Huntington Library Gardens in San Marino, California. It even featured some footage of the Japanese bridge.
