One interesting thing about this song: when I first heard it, I thought
the words were "You see the sky, the sky's in love with you..."
which really makes sense, after a fashion. The person being sung to is
so desirable that all of nature worships her, or something like that.
(I think I've read some 17th century poetry that essentially says the
same thing.)

Anyway, I still like my version better, so there!
