I think that what makes this song so absolutely heart breaking is that it is so simple. No fancy metaphors or anything like that. The bit that gets me is the last part:
"But I don't want you thinking I don't get asked to dinner
'Cause I'm here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don't think I'll ever get over you
If I lived 'til I was 102
I just don't think I'll ever get over you"
Anyone who has ever been truly in love will understand this completely.
