Songfacts®:

  • This smoldering love ballad finds Norah Jones celebrating her life with her musician husband. The song is a track from Day Breaks, an album that finds Jones returning to the jazz piano roots that first earned her acclaim. She told American Songwriter magazine why the piano is her instrument of choice:

    "I don't know a ton of chords on the guitar," Jones laughed. "I'm pretty limited, so the songs tend towards more simple chords on the guitar. On the piano, I can play a little bit more. I could write a song like 'My Dear Country' from my third album or a song like 'It's A Wonderful Time For Love,' with a lot of different chord changes that I just wouldn't be able to figure out on a guitar."
