Tuesday morning, start the story

Much older than mine
Comparing the speaker's eyes to someone much older.
Gotta history of mystery

Only 07:09
Noting the specific time, 07:09.
07:36, I'd learned he'd lost his wife

60 years of marriage and a beautiful life
Reflecting on 60 years of marriage and a beautiful life.
He said, I got a daughter she has my eyes and my nose
Quoting the person mentioning his daughter's resemblance.
He laughed to himself but then it looked like he froze
Person laughs but then appears frozen.
He looked out the window to world I never knew and said
Looking out the window, reflecting on a world unknown to the speaker.
I look at my girl and man I'm 22 again
Expressing a feeling of youthfulness when looking at his daughter.
She may look like me, but boy when she smiles
Noting the daughter's smile and the emotional impact it has.
There's a pain just so right that it warms me a while
Describing a bittersweet pain that warms the speaker.
And that attitude, oh man, she could rule god herself
Highlighting the daughter's strong and commanding attitude.
She's just like the mother and I miss her like hell

Now it's nearly half 8, the man lightly cries he says
Indicating the time is almost 8:30; the person gets emotional.
This is my stop, and thank you for the ride

I'll tell you, just what my Rosie said just before she left
Sharing what the person's wife, Rosie, said before leaving.
With his blue eyes all sparky and a hand on his chest, he said she went
Describing how Rosie left with a sparkle in her blue eyes.
Remember life is viscous, but it can also be kind
Imparting a life lesson that life can be harsh but also kind.
This world's full of soul mates, I'm so lucky I found mine
Expressing gratitude for finding a soulmate in this world.
I'll have to love you and leave you but this ain't fair well
Acknowledging the necessity to part ways, but not saying farewell.
I'll see you in the next life
Anticipating a reunion in the next life, whether in heaven or hell.
Whether that's heaven or hell
Concluding with the idea of meeting again in the afterlife.
