This might not be a correct interpretation, but it's not a bad one: A kind of positive take on a break-up/parting-of-ways song. If you take it from a guy's perspective, he's basically meeting an ex- that he hasn't seen in a while ("two years ago"). They had fun back in the day ("Remember we were partners in crime"), but he stalled out and she went on to some sort of success. And instead of him being bitter about it, he's basically saying that he always believed in her and appreciated that she never demeaned him ("but you could leave me standing so tall"). She's someone else's or the world's beloved now ("now he's in love with you..."). She's basically "gold" and he's telling her to remember that.
The video for this is a bit strange and doesn't totally support this interpretation. Plus, you're half expecting to see Simon Le Bon stumble past Tony Hadley through connecting streets from the "Hungry Like the Wolf" video.
