I came to this site hoping someone had already written their thoughts on the lyrics of this song, but it looks like I'll have to be the first.
Listening to the song made me wonder why this person can't understand why they ever started loving "Josephine". I got a little upset that someone would just outright say that they can't figure this out. It almost sounded accusatory and mean, but now reading the lyrics in my head makes me sympathize with the narrator rather than Josephine. It sounds to me like he/she is close to the end of his/her life. Maybe the memory is a bit fuzzy. This song, it seems, is telling the story of someone trying to account for moments spent with the love of their lives. It's sad... not to remember something so profound.
