I've taken a slightly different view on this song... for me it's more like a whole "love from afar" deal. He loves her utterly, but in her high-flying lifestyle she doesn't even know he exists. It's he, however, that is the one who truly knows how to be happy in life, but he can't because he can never have her. So very bittersweet, and made all that more by the incredible orchestra and piano work. One of my all-time favourite songs.
Favourite line - "Write your soul down word for word/See who's your friend/Who is kind"
