Lyrics meaning
The song expresses strong, steady romantic love. At first, the speaker describes that love as almost beyond measure. Then the lyrics explain how meeting the beloved changed the speakerโs heart and brought love into a life where it had once seemed unlikely. The repeated refrain makes the feeling sound constant and certain.
The comparisons to sunshine, the ocean, and the stars use familiar parts of nature to suggest warmth, depth, and brightness. โSofter than a sighโ adds tenderness: a sigh is a quiet breath, so the image suggests gentle affection rather than forceful passion. Saying the beloved is โalways on my mindโ is an everyday way of saying the speaker thinks about them often, not literally every second.
The song presents love as something that keeps growing and cannot be changed, though this is best understood as the speakerโs confident feeling, not a factual promise about the future. The line about once thinking love was โmeant for anyone else but meโ suggests the speaker had felt love was out of reach; it does not explain why. Overall, the lyrics are direct and joyful, with little uncertainty in the present, even if the speakerโs earlier doubt gives the song a small note of surprise.
