The most mellow song jim croce as ever created. In my interpretation, this song is about a girl named mary who adds meaning in his life. Mary is probably his first love. She might be his best friend i dont really know. He is recalling his old memories he has with her, the places they have been together. He is looking forward to meeting her again, but he can no longer to that.
My Dear Account-
Jim Croce did not write this song. It was written by his lead guitarist Maury Muehleisen in 1970 when he ran into a high school sweetheart at the Trenton, NJ train station.

The reason I know all this is that I used to live in Trenton and became good friends with Maury's sister (Maury died in the plane cash along with Croce)through the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum (UMGF)that holds MartinFest the 1st weekend of every August at the C.

The song was recorded 8 weeks before Maury died, so the Mary it was written for never got to hear it in a live performance.
