I used to dislike this song a lot back then, getting sick of constantly hearing it on radio, finding both the music and the lyrics to be way too cheesy.
Nowadays, much of my dislike for this song has diminished considerably; Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but compared with plenty of terrible modern music, this wasn't nowhere as bad as I remembered.
Sure, the video is a bit kitsch (Very kitsch, I would dare to say), but it's very fitting for this type of song. Also, the little melancholy touch at the end was something a bit unexpected, considering the lyrics of the song apparently have a "happy ending", but the video actually reveals that is not case.
I guess the nostalgic theme gets more effective as time passes, hitting differently after more than 20 years since it was released.
