Music video

A video for the song was released in 1988 and directed by Michael Merriman. The video starts off with a group of couples getting together and leaving, as Oslin's character tells her husband that she was going to stay the night at her friend's house, where her and a friend are watching old films on a projection screen reminiscing about the past. The friends later drive to the cemetery, where it is revealed their longtime friend, who was in the films had recently passed away and the couples at the start of the film were together for a memorial service.
