Then again I think the last two lines of the chorus "Mary you look just like, it was 1930 that night" are sang to the lover and that is why he is so upset. It seems that she died quite a long time ago thoughīut I think the chorus is sung to this deceased person about his lover and how he wished that the two could have met and that said person would have approved of/really liked his lover. I think the first verse he's singing to a lover about his dead grandmother (yeah a bit wierd.)or some other passed away person who he was close to and that he is really distraught about said person's death which is backed up by the line "i'm a burning up the night she died" (although "she died" could be metaphorical if they were divorced or split up) as if he can't get it out of his head but hes gonna make one last ditch attempt to do so. This could be his dead grandmother, a deceased or long lost lover, or a woman he has divorced as he refers to in countless other songs such as great expectations. It seems to me that he's singing to two different people throughout the song- one is his current lover and the other is some person whom he no longer has contact with but was very close to a long time ago. The song in my opinion is only for his grandma but with reference to his wife. That's my take on the comments people have about it maybe being for two people. He can imagine her being there and smiling because she's happy with his choice of a mate and who he has become and that she would have looked so beautiful at his wedding that it makes him think of 1930 when she was young and how beautiful she would have looked then. Mary, you look just like it was 1930 that night." "And I see it like you were there, And I know just how you'd smile. "And I'm doing the best I can, it's what you wanted. This part is him telling his grandma that he wishes she knew his wife because now his wife is the better side of hiim. "But I, I wish you knew her now, She's the better side of me now." I think the whole time he's only talking to her but makes reference to his new love. The entire song is about his grandma dying. If I recall the last thing you said to meīefore it broke up, before it took you from meĪnd you said, "I love you more than the stars in the sky 'Cause I don't know how to say, "Stay still in the pain So I'm saying my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that nightĪnd the glory hasn't come and it's probably gonna fade So here's to you and your bright baby bluesĪnd that you missed him sometimes but you said it's alright And then I'm setting this whole thing on fire
