One of the more successful country music groups of the 1990s, their hits have included Every Once in a While, Days of America, and Goodbye Says It All.
The original lineup for the band throughout the 1990s was Paul, Robbins, and guitarist/vocalist Van Stephenson, who died of skin cancer in April, 2001. He was replaced by Randy Threet, the band's bass player, until 2003, when Anthony Crawford signed on.
From early 2008 until he re-joined in 2010, Robbins left the group to resume his songwriting career, and Threet re-joined. Since then, BlackHawk's backing band has been subsumed into the main group, which comprises Paul (lead vocals, guitar, mandolin), Randall (acoustic guitar, background vocals), Threet (bass guitar, background vocals), Chris Anderson (lead guitar, background vocals), Dave Robbins (keyboards, background vocals), and Monte Yoho (drums, percussion).
Current Total Nonstop Action Wrestling musician Dale Oliver was also once a part of Blackhawk.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a love love like this
And warriors have laid weapons down
For a love love like this
Hearts will break a thousand times
For a love love like this
And arms will wait a thousand nights for a love
Love like this
[Chorus:]
Love may come and love may go
But here inside your arms I know
That only you will ever show me
Love like this
You and I have finally found
Love love like this
A place to lay our burdens down
In a love love like this
Hearts can speak without a sound
In a love love like this
What makes the world keep turnin' 'round
Is a love love like this
[Chorus]
Love may come and love may go
But here inside your arms I know
That only you will ever show me
Love like this
The moon has never shown before
On a love love like this
And I have never wanted more than a love
Love like this
