Most Beautiful Widow in Town Lyrics

I think the song is written from the perspective of a dead husband who's watching over his wife in the afterlife.

He sees her look at a photograph from their wedding day when she's many years older, but she still mourns him like it was yesterday.

He says it must be a dream because "your mother would never let me in her house," but the reason he's there is cos he's dead.
