Playing tips :

1) All tabs transcribed below are as close as I can get but you should try
   to fit your own rhythmic feel and guitar fills whenever you feel it is
   most appropriate.  It is not easy to transcribe a strumming(rhythm) part.

2) When playing the Intro and Ending, finger the chords given below and not
   just press the notes you need to play.  This is because you want the
   notes to really sound properly.

3) Bill Leverty (Firehouse) applied roughly the same chord progressions and
   guitar techniques on "Love of a Lifetime" and "When I Look Into Your Eyes".
   If you need these songs, it will be pretty easy to pick up this song.

4) When performing the guitar solo, do not play it stiff.  Add thrills and
   tremolos to the long notes.  This will add life and energy to your guitar
   playing.

5) For people who wants to play the easy guitar version (strumming), follow
   the chords given at tablatures.

6) Please feedback to me on whether the tablatures have been useful to you
   and accurate or if you have any queries. This will enable me to continue
   to contribute.  My Email Address is :

7) Lastly, this song is dedicated to all the people in love out there.
   Good Luck !!
