Obviously a longing song... about wanting somebody back. But going deeper, it's about wanting someone that is special in a way that not a lot of people will notice or appreciate (she's got diamonds in her eyes that she likes to hide.) And somebody that loves life and makes life better for anyone she chooses to touch (What the day brings comes as no surprise.)
Lastly, it's a perfect description of someone that is searching for some kind of meaning in day-to-day life without the person they had come to associate with living, and the transparency of seeing that life gone from him (Don't ask me how I'm doing when everything I do says I miss you.)
