I can definitely see johnathonfisk's meaning being right, but I also thought about this one.
I think this song is about a man finally meeting his his love at age 29. Throughout his life he has been thinking about that girl, although he never knew who she was. But he knew that he would meet his love eventually, he just never knew when or who it would be.
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before
I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
Lots of people dream about their perfect guy/girl before they meet them, and the lyrics fit it perfectly.
I think this is the meaning too, with one exception: not necessarily has he met her at age 29. It could be later: 34 o 35. Even 40 or so, because we tend to remember things from our 5th year of life or even later.

@Miniemetoo -- Thanks for expressing the meaning in this way. I think the other interpretations are valid, but I've always identified with your interpretation. I think of my wife when I hear this song.
We met when I had just turned 30, hence "I dreamed about you for 29 years". Amazingly, when we finally got together (I ended up moving across the country for her), it really felt like I missed her for all the years of my life before then.

@Miniemetoo This is a great interpretation of this part of the lyrics and I totally relate to that. But I think it contradicts the rest of the lyrics, which is definitely about realizing that the girl he once knew (29 years ago) was the one and he was dreaming about her ever since he left her.
