Songoftheday 12/10/17 - I guess the time was right for us to say, we'd take our time and live our lives together day by day...

"Love Of A Lifetime" - FireHouse
from the album FireHouse (1990)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #5 (two weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 16

Today's song of the day comes from the glam metal band FireHouse, who had landed a top-20 pop hit with their debut single "Don't Treat Me Bad" in the summer of 1991. Their follow-up would be the power-ballad "Love Of A Lifetime", which ended up becoming their most successful song of their career. Written by lead singer C.J. Snare and guitarist Bill Leverty, it was hard enough to satisfy the lighter-raisers, yet melodic enough to be played at their eventual first weddings...

"Love Of A Lifetime" became FireHouse's first top ten pop hit in September of 1991. The song also climbed to #37 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary (or "easy listening") radio chart. Internationally, the record peaked at #30 in Canada.

A third single from their debut record, "All She Wrote", climbed to #25 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock radio chart, and stopped at #58 on the pop Hot 100.
