I believe the song is about performing in front of a crowd. The Moody Blues were becoming quite successful around the time this song and album dropped. Justin Hayes said although they were becoming successful, he felt a little guilty, but he really was sure why?
The story in your eyes is the eyes of the crowd and they story they tell. Just looking out at the crowd and seeing all the happy people.
"I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now is still the same"
The band is becoming an entity with high returns, but that shouldn't change how they feel about each other. He might have thought it could hurt the band, but he's passed that now.
And the sounds we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now, I realize
The band makes music that makes people smile. Such a beautiful thing.
Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We're part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day
Listening to the music can help people's moods. (The Moody Blues)
And the band is the center of it all.
But I'm frightened for your children
That the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for will turn to rain
I think this part is the guilt speaking from Justin, perhaps wondering how things will eventually turn out.
When the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet, sweet love forever more

The song comes to its inevitable end.
