I figured it is about somebody close to you dying. "Take me down this road, I've been here before" and "take me down this road, just to see the smile on your face" means "spend these last moments with me...let's remember the happy times we had in life". The one dying is trying to cheer you up. "Take all that you learned and received from me and keep it forever, that way I'll always be with you and you won't have to be sad" is basically what I got from it. "This ain't the last goodbye" pretty much means what it says, "I'll see you again in heaven". I was at my mom's house the other day and she told me she found out she may have cancer. I hung around for a while and put on a happy face, but when I got in my truck to go home, this song was on the cd I was listening to, and I squalled like a little girl.
