A haunting power ballad from the album Lita. Blending soft acoustic passages with soaring vocals, the track became one of the most iconic rock duets of the late 80s.

Anecdote: The song was written spontaneously after a late-night studio session between Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne. What started as a casual jam turned into a hit that reached the Top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100, a rare achievement for a metal ballad.

Dark melody. Timeless duet.
Still echoing through the airwaves
