When I look into your eyes

But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
Nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle

This November let's head back in time to 1992 when November Rain was released by Guns N' Roses.!
"November Rain" peaked at number three on the United States Billboard Hot 100 chart. And at 8.57 minutes long, it became the longest song in history to enter the top ten of that chart.
It is also the third longest song to enter the Hot 100 chart (second longest at the time of its release). The song reached number one on the Polish LP3 Chart, number four on the UK Singles Chart,number five on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and the top 10 on several other music charts around the world.
Since its release, the song has sold over a million copies worldwide and has been described as "one of the ultimate hard-rock power ballads".
The music video portrays Axl Rose marrying his then-girlfriend Stephanie Seymour, intercut with a live performance in Los Angeles' Orpheum Theater. It is one of the most expensive music videos ever made. watch it here
