This song is Dan’s response to Diana’s insistence that Dan does not truly know what she is going through. Dan’s counter is that regardless, he is the one who will be there for her. During the song, Dan pleads with Diana to confide in him as he is the one who truly cares about her. Through the song, Diana's dead son Gabe appears and fights his father for her affection, winning in the end.

I saw this with the original cast on Broadway. It was heartbreakingly beautiful!
