Hi Gary,
I've listened to both versions now several of times and yes, your modifications made a big difference. Your version does have a greater commercial value. I did make some minor changes though. I added a 4th line to the bridge. I think the rhyme scheme works better with a 4th line. I hope you agree. And, in the outro I switched to the "i" instead of the "you". You changed everything to "I" except the outro . I assume that was a mistake, so I changed that section to match the rest of the lyrics.
