Content
The song is a ballad, in which the narrator, a widower, describes his feelings of loneliness and isolation while expressing doubt about his capability to 'live again', date again and move past his mourning for his late wife. His friends then set him up on a double date at a little cafe. He feels very out of place but is getting along with his date. She asks him to dance but he's forgotten her name. The chorus describes how learning to live again as a single man is killing him. When they are saying goodnight on her porch, he kisses her on the cheek and gets the courage to ask if he can see her again. It is revealed that she is learning to live again also, but he doesn't know it. She says, "We'll See".
