This is a classic, timeless song about meeting someone and falling in love. It combines a straightforward message with an absolutely irresistible hook -- that harmony in the chorus kills me every time. The lyric is not deep or complicated, but I actually prefer it that way -- its very simplicity captures the naiveness and excitement of first love.
RE: "I'm so glad it's changed"
The singer is "so glad" because now he has a real woman ("now I've got you") and not just a photograph of one (see the preceding line). I guess the next logical question is how the singer acquired a photograph of this woman. Perhaps she's a model or a beauty queen. Or maybe she's a former schoolmate, so it was a yearbook picture. Perhaps a mutual friend passed along the photo. Or (shudder) did the singer stalk the woman with a camera and snap her photo surreptitiously? Ah, I guess it doesn't really matter.
