He said doc what happened to my emma
He inquired about the condition or whereabouts of someone named Emma to a doctor.
Doc said sir your wife’s race has been run
The doctor informed him that his wife, Emma, had passed away or reached the end of her life.
Please hold me, tell me it’s all right

When I’m gone I won’t be alone anymore

Out the door into the morning
Leaving the place, possibly the hospital, and heading outside into the morning.
This time of day they used to be in bed
Reflecting on a time when his wife and he used to be together in bed during this part of the day.
Through the gate he saw his wilting garden

Home to his house he grabbed the paper
Returning home and picking up the newspaper or any news without anyone to share it with.
The news with he had no one to share
Feeling the absence of someone to share news or life updates with.
His kids always said they’d be over later

All his memories became too much to bear

Please hold me tell me it’s all right
