Not sure how people aren't getting this song, but anyway:

The first three verses describe a 'dream' he had where he'd found this perfect girl and they had an amazing time together just walking around the streets.

He awakes in the final verse expecting for it to have been wishful dreaming, but he "feels [her] warm and near" and he realises that this amazing love he is dreaming of is when that he has actually got. He kisses her with his "grateful tears" and can then only say "I love you".

It's a very happy, grateful love song.

Great explanation. Thank you She was there beside him on a Sunday night all along. It's a very touching song. They start out as lusters, then end up in love. Very touching.
