Bill Evans's gentle ballad reminds Greta and Sunday of all they shared and all they couldn't share when they first met in 1964 and fell in love. Sunday Morgan was the first Negro in Greta's otherwise white high school in Milwaukee. Both serious students from troubled families, they had everything in common but their color. Their relationship fell apart when Sunday returned from Mississippi after Freedom Summer.

Thirty-two years later, Sunday and Greta meet again by apparent coincidence after a life-threatening incident forces Sunday to confront the meaning of courage. Their second meeting marks the time in their lives that they begin to live their lives forward, rather than remain haunted by past fears.
