All of Van Morrison's "love songs" seem to approach the feelings involved in different ways. Here it's a wonderful, tender, soft, and profound feeling -- something to wrap oneself up in and sit astounded by the sheer comforting power of it.
It's appropriate, whether intended or not, that a few of the adjectives in the last verse -- "righteous" and "mellow" -- are among the most-often used when talking about the state of indulging in cannabis. Here love is of the same hue, but more meaningful and penetrating -- love as the most righteous high imaginable.
