here is my interpretation, if anyone is interested:
the first 3 lines are easy, he loves this girl, but doesnt know how to tell her,
he is shy, and says maybe i will tell you sometime.
time . . . time gets away from him, and he never gets the chance to tell her
she dies without ever knowing
you were right. . .Right... He realizes that she was the only right one for him, but now its too late. he never marries, never even is interested in another woman again
I'll wait by your doorstep, in a worn out suit and tie. ...
this is both literal, and figurative. he is now a very old man, so he goes to the place where she used to live, sits out by her door step, and waits for her to come down from heaven to get him. As he is dying, he waits for her to find him and take him with her back to heaven
