You say you don't want to see me today
You're busy each weekend, all through the end of May
I don't understand it, it all seems so strange
Oh, this all will seem funny, when we are engaged

This will all seem funny when we are engaged
We'll laugh like hyenas, freed from a cage
And when we're all done laughing, you'll look me in the eye
And tell me that you'll love me until the day I die

You say you regret the sweet things you said
You weren't thinking clearly, you must have lost your head
You ask me to move on and salvage some pride
Oh, this will all seem funny when you are my bride

This will all seem funny when you are my bride
We'll laugh like little children on a carousel ride
And when we're all done laughing, you'll look me in the eye
And tell me that you'll love me until the day I die

You say you're heading out West in the fall
You don't you want me to write you, you don't want me to call
You won't tell me the town and you won't tell me the state
Oh, this will all seem funny when we're old and gray

This will all seem funny when we're old and gray
We'll laugh like young lovers on Valentine's Day
And when we're all done laughing, you'll look me in the eye
And tell me that you'll love me until the day I die

Why don't you take my hand, and look me in the eye
And tell me that you'll love me until the day I die?
