"When I Look at You" is about finding hope and comfort in someone special when life gets tough. The first verse establishes the idea that everyone needs inspiration and a beautiful melody to help get them through the challenges of life because it is not always easy. The chorus expresses that when things are falling apart and there seems to be no light to break up the darkness, the singer looks to the person she loves. The person represents light in the midst of darkness, and hope in the midst of despair.
Verse two talks about seeing forgiveness and truth in the person, who loves the singer for who she is. The comparison to the stars holding the moon implies that the person is always there for the singer, and she knows she is never alone. The bridge reinforces the idea that the person is like a dream, covering the singer in beautiful colors and providing her with everything she needs.
In the end, the song is about the power of love, and how it can provide a sense of security and comfort even when everything else is chaotic and uncertain. The person is an inspiration to the singer, representing hope, forgiveness, and truth. The song ultimately emphasizes the importance of having someone in your life who is a constant source of happiness and support.
