I tried hard to figure out what the song is about. The chorus sounds warm and loving, but the rest of the song speaks of wistfulness and desperation. I interpret it as an attempt to comfort a distracted / distressed lover. The singer hopes her lover can "pay no mind" to the things that upset him/her. She tries to use herself as an example: when "baby at night when I look at you; nothing in the world keeps me confused". In the outro, she speaks directly to her lover to "let go of the empty feeling". She also tells her loved one that his/her absent-mindedness has made she feels neglected ("kiss of love couldn't be much colder").
But there could also be another simpler and more direct interpretation: this is a break up song. Even though the singer still loves her partner, the feeling is not reciprocated, making her decide to walk out of the relationship.
Anyway, whatever the interpretation is, I love the song. Definitely a masterpiece.
