Two lovers they
were walking hand in hand
The maiden wore
a shiny wedding band
She said "My love,
you've won my heart and soul"
So promise that,
you'll love me when I'm old
And I will say
you'll love me when I'm old
When dark clouds gather round
and nights are cold
And say "You'll never trade
our love for gold"
Oh Darlin' say
you'll love me when I'm old
He kissed her lips
and touched her golden hair
Then looked upon her face
so young and fair
He held her gently to
his loving arms
Saying "Only GOD above
could make us apart"
And I will say
"You'll love me when I'm old"
When dark clouds gather round
and nights are cold
And say "You'll never trade
our love for gold"
Oh Darlin' say
you'll love me when I'm old
They lived so many years
as man and wife
With seven kids to grace
their happy lives
Sometimes the clouds grew dark
and nights were cold
Somehow their love grow strong
as they grew old
And Darling say
"You'll love me when I'm old
When dark clouds gather round
and nights are cold
And say "You'll never trade
our love for gold
Oh Darlin' say
you'll love me when I'm old
Yes Darlin' say
you'll love me when I'm old
