Today with Your Wife Lyrics

This song has a definite feel to me of reminiscing over someone who has died. I imagine a trio of good, longtime friends. Two got married, but then one died; the singer maintains his friendship with the widow. The wistfulness of the refrain, "you should have been there" reflects the regret and mourning over the loss.
