Rod Argent originally wrote this and gave it to Dusty Springfield b/c she liked the Zombies a great deal. And asked Rod to write a song for her. He agreed and this is what he wrote for her. The Zombies were bummed at first b/c Rod told them he was just going to give the song to Dusty. They thought it would have been a potential hit for them. Later they recorded it and it's on their box set- Zombie Heaven. While it never became a hit song for the Zombies it did sell well for Dusty Springfield.
The song describes how relationships sour even if one person still wants to pursue it. He desperately hopes for the day that things will be as they were, when they were in love, but the reality of that ever happening is slim. He contemplates how it will be if it doesn't work out for him.
