I always thought that this song was from the point of view of a man who has died, looking back on his love and singing to her at the same time. Because it changes from first-person to third-person every other verse. It truly a gorgeous song...

Very interesting idea! I also somehow had the eerie feeling that this song was subtly about someone having passed, though also a beautiful love song at the same time...

I am somewhat convinced that the musical genius of Sting could not have simply produced this as a simple trite love song. But even if it were just that, it is still brilliant just the same! I can't get this melody out of my head, and frequently play it on the piano. Even without words, the song is pure genius...
