The song has an interesting tonal structure....
It is a song about having found love.....but it is in a minor key. This saddened key contrasts with the jubuliant lyrics.....until the end.
You hear the transition to major key right near the end. There is a tremendous emotional lift. Suddenly the sun comes out.
