This song accompanies and cements the impression of an unforgettable scene in World's Greatest Dad. Robin Williams expression hit a hard mark, the song is good and it fit the scene perfectly.

There are three different lines in the song. The songwriter intended to express that love needs little reason or explanation because it is unconditionally forgiving.

We complicate our love. But, if those we love die, our love for them does not die with their death. If anything, death seals our love for them. It's that simple.

I feel for those undeserving people who have felt the permanence of just how simple love can get.

Like so many others, I first heard this in World's Greatest Dad. Beautiful song, and one of the most powerful scenes I know of. It's hard to tell exactly what this song's about, because there are so few lyrics. As far as I can tell, it's seems to be about someone having ample love and well wishes for a loved one who has passed. I think this song relies more on the beautiful music than the words, though.
