I think this song is about the relationship between a soldier and his young wife, as her feelings for him dwindle while he's away at war. By the time he comes back he's a different person, and the distance and the time have severely impaired her attraction to him. She confesses her desire to move on, and forty years later the soldier remembers her and what life might have been like had they stayed together.
