I did not say I'd marry you,

I did not say just you would do;

Nor did I say you are my life,

I did not say I'd be your wife.



We only kissed that moonlit night

Beneather the moon so shining bright

I only said "to love I'm true,"

I will not, shall not, marry you.



Whatever made you buy that ring?

I did not want the stupid thing!

I could not, would not, be so true!

Why did you think I'd marry you?



When I am old (past forty-eight)

Let's meet beside that moonlit gate,

And if by then my hand is bare,

Then you may place that ring right there!
