My favorite power ballad! This song takes me back to the cold,dark winter of '88. Such a beatifully gothic,minor chord classic. It feels like a separation of two friends under uncontrollable circumstances and years later there is a reminder of the friendship, be it a dream or a photograph that floods the memory. The person can never forget and wishes the best for the other. He is alone and saving his love for this ghost from the past. He has a reality check and wishes for the key to his heart back so he can save his love for the future. A positive blues that will heal your heart. Very understated and subtle for a hard rock band of this era. Brilliant!
