Saw you early this morning
Sleeping all dressed in white
For a moment I thought you were an angel
Come to take me home alive
You woke up and you caught me staring
Smiled and said hey cut it out
You said that I must be crazy
I said crazy about you and I kissed you on the mouth
If I am truly crazy
Don't you know I like my life that way
And if I'm really going on out of my mind
You can hop on board and make your getaway
Took a walk down the seashore
Saw a beggar picking up some cans
Saw a little boy who had some salt in his eyes
Reaching out for his mamma's hands
I watched a stranger give that man a dollar
Watched a mamma wipe tears from her little boy's eyes
Then I stared up into the heavens
Said oh my God I'm glad to be alive
So glad to be alive
If I am truly crazy
Don't you know I like my life that way
And if I'm really going on out of my mind
You can hop on board and make your getaway
Wake up in the morning we turn all the lights on
Turn 'em out at night so that we can hide
Sometimes I sleep with all the lights on
It helps me to appreciate the night
I hear people talk about life all the time
All they remember are times so sad
Don't you think that life would be awfully boring
If the good times were all that we had
If I am truly crazy
Don't you know I life my life that way
And if I'm really going on out of my mind
You can hop on board and make your getaway

This song is just pretty much about how much he loves his life.
He makes references to a few life incounters and it shows that is part of life and he loves it how it is. He wants his wife/gf to stay with him and spend the rest of her life with him.
This song is about all the tiny, beuatiful things that we take for granted and overlook. If we just slow down and take the time to look around we will see that life is pretty decent... even if we have to have some bad(dark) times to make us appreciate the good.
