I'm mostly commenting here to see if anyone knows if there's a name for the wordplay used in these lyrics: "and you looking down from Heaven...'s a julep on the porch." Where the single word is used to connect two different sentences. I really love it.
Besides that, this is such a beautiful, romantic song. Although I can't figure out the perspective used in it- is it from the POV of the man who loves the woman, or (given the "he brought the whiskey, asked for my blessing" line) of the woman's father?
My take is "he brought the whiskey, asked for my blessing" is talking about his daughter's now husband, the POV is reflecting back on this moment in particular among the many happily spent with his family on the porch. He again specifically mentions his 'beautiful daughter' near the end.
