Lyrics
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 darling 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 part
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 darling 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 grew strong as they grew 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 darling say you’ll love me when I’m old
Yes darling say you’ll love me when I’m old
