I agree with others that this is written from Daisy's point of view. To me, this song is about someone you lost or someone you want but know you can never have.
"Now there's green light in my eyes
and my lover on my mind"
I have not read The Great Gatsby so I do not know the exact significance of the green light. However, I own something that reminds me of certain people I have "lost." Whenever I see it, memories come flooding back and I feel a certain sadness. In the song, I'd say the Green Light signifies that person you have lost. It is far away but it is always there reminding you of your past lover. The singing from the piano then, tearing the yellow dress and crying over the love of him/her is just unleashing the great emotion you feel.
This is one of those songs that just puts an ache back in my heart! So beautiful
