slow song, lyrics go something like this.

I cant buy you diamonds and i cant buy you pearls but i know i can love you if you stay by me girl, now i dont have riches oh baby and i dont have no gold, and i dont have much of nothing, except the love that will never grow old. 

 

anyone help?

 

thanks

Those lyrics certainly ring a bell with me.  I have heard that song many times.  But, i can't place it now, out of context.  Maybe I havent heard it for the last 40 years.

Its really bugging me as I got the song on a CD but do not who the artist is.

 

more of the lyrics: I cant promise you nothing baby, cuz nothings promised to me but if you love me, stand by  me and we will see what life brings. if you stay by me girl, if you stay by me girl

Hi

It sounds to me like Arthur Alexander - Stay By Me. Great track. I'm pretty certain it is included on one of the Ace CD's of his material.
