This song reminds me of the torment that widows, in this case, young widows must face: whether to preserve the love once shared with a mere memory, or to remarry for company and/or solace.
The point of view comes from a man asking his lover if he were to die while still young, if she will stay faithful though he is no longer present in the relationship. He tells her that if she can honestly say yes, then he will love her that much more.
