"Love of a Lifetime" was the second single from the American rock band FireHouse. It was the band's highest charting single in the United States, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is also the band's first and most popular power ballad. The song was written by guitarist vocalist C.J. Snare.[1]
The song is arguably what FireHouse is most known for. In a 2005 interview, Snare commented "now I have the benefit of time to look back over this and there isn't a show that goes by where people don't come up to us and are like "'Love of a Lifetime'" - we got married to that song!"[2]
[edit] Origin
The song was written by C.J. Snare, who said that he wrote it while playing solo gigs at a Holiday Inn. When the band brought the demos for their first album to Epic Records, the label felt that the album needed a stronger ballad. Snare said "[I remember] raising my hand sheepishly and saying "Well, I have a song...," so we played it for them and they absolutely loved it and it did become a big hit.[2]
