DARLING SAY YOU'LL LOVE ME
As recorded by Simiani on "Favourites" (2008)

1. Two lovers they were walking hand in hand.
The maiden wore a shiny wedding band.
She said: "My love, you own my heart and soul,
So promise that you'll love me when I'm old.

CHORUS: "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.
Darling, say you'll love me when I'm old."

2. He kissed her lips and touched her golden hair
And looked upon her face so young and fair.
He held her gently to his loving heart,
Saying: "Only God alone could make us part." CHORUS

3. They lived so many years as man and wife,
With seven kids to grace their happy life.
Sometimes the clouds were dark and nights were cold.
Somehow their love grew strong as they grew old.

LAST CHORUS: 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.
Promise me you'll love me when I'm old.
Promise me you'll love me when I'm old.

Thanks, Newfiegirl. With that information, I was able to find more:

Simani is a band from Newfoundland. It seems they don't have a web site of their own, but there is a page about them at UpAlong.org and an article in Wikipedia. Several of their songs (but not this one) are listed at GEST Songs of Newfoundland and Labrador.

DARLING SAY YOU'LL LOVE ME is on the CD version of their album "Music and Friends" but it wasn't on the earlier LP version of the same album (1987). Creator's credit is given to "Pat Casey/Simani."
