Eddies father died when Eddie was only young. He had a debilitating disease that ultimately resulting in him dying, can't recall what it was. Eddies mother and father got separated when he was young and when the father realized he was dying they decided to keep the fact that he was his father from Eddie, to protect him.
The song is about young love that resulted in a family with children ie Eddie. Then one of the parents dying and knowing they are going to have a slow death ie Eddies father.
