What a beautiful song! I am actually surprised that no-one has commented yet. I like the fact that its melodic simplicity leaves room to the lyrics to be distinguished. Perry Como's version has always been my favorite.
I think it's about two people that used to -and still do- love greatly each other, but have drifted apart for unknown reasons. Both sides acknowledge and accept the separation, although they can't help but feel sad about it. The chorus describes a scene of true intimacy, where they distance themselves from any external 'disturbances' -the unsparing reality if you like- and for an instant (and most likely for the very last time) share a moment of genuine love and tenderness,just like the way they used to. I think that this the general notion of the song; the sense escapism and reliving of a familiar comfort.
