Former Angel keyboardist Gregg Giuffria was going to stage his comeback under the Angel banner, however former members of the band convinced him to use a different moniker. Giuffria named the new band after himself and recruited David Glen Eisley (vocals), Craig Goldy (ex-Rough Cutt, guitar), Rick Bozzo (bass) and Alan Krigger (drums). Bozzo would be replaced by Quiet Riot's Chuck Wright before recoding of the debut commenced. The self-titled debut album was an almost technically perfect recording, spawning the Top 20 hit "Call To The Heart" and turning the band members into stars in America while touring behind the newly reformed Deep Purple.
After the tour Goldy and Wright both left the band - Goldy would join Diver before moving on to Dio. Lanny Cordola was brought in on guitar and David Sikes took over bass duties for the second release Silk + Steel. Even though the new album followed in its predecessor's footsteps, sales were poor and the band was quickly dropped from their record label in 1987.
Kiss' Gene Simmons showed interest in signing the band that now included Giuffria, Cordola, Wright and Ken Mary on drums. However Simmons insisted on a name change, and thus House Of Lords was born.

It's not too late, no it's not too late
What we've done, and we've been through, says it all, what's left to prove
You can't throw away, oh, what's here to stay.
Darling, I love you forever, believe me, I love you forever, forever my love.
Today we laugh, tonight we cry, flip the card, and can't decide
Who's to say, what's wrong or right, and through the tears the truth will shine
It's all I can do, babe I'm gonna stay with you
Darling, I love you forever, believe me, I love you forever,
Darling, I love you forever, forever my love.
Solo
Forever, my love. Forever my love. Forever my love. And there in my heart.
Darling, I love you forever, believe me, I love you forever, forever my love.
Forever. Forever my love, forever my love.
The lyrics of Giuffria's Love You Forever express a deep commitment and unwavering love, despite the ups and downs of life. The opening line suggests that the couple is going through a tough time, but they are determined to find a way to get back to where they were. The repeated assertion that it's not too late reinforces the idea that the love between them is strong and worth fighting for. The next line, "What we've done, and we've been through, says it all, what's left to prove" acknowledges that their experiences together have already shown the depth and strength of their love.
The chorus declares the singer's love for their partner, both in the present and for all time. The solo that follows carries the emotion of the song perfectly, expressing a sense of longing and devotion. The third verse touches on the uncertainties of life, and how the outcome of any situation is uncertain. However, the idea that the truth will shine through the tears suggests a sense of faith and optimism. The final repetition of "forever my love" reinforces the idea that the singer's commitment is unwavering and eternal.
Overall, Love You Forever is a powerful love song that celebrates the strength and resilience of love, even in the face of adversity.
