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?
