I think that this song is about two friends, they grew up together and ended up going into WW2 together. Growing up they must have made a pact or something with each other, maybe involving always being there for each other. Well, one of them dies, overcoming the promises they made to each other, and the one who lived is the one singing the song, talking about how, one day, he will be there with his friend, by his side.
