We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walking a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

We swore we'd travel together darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
Each lover's steps fall so differently
So I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So lets make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
And Should I fall behind
Wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
And there 'neath the oak's bough, soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other
In the shadow of the evening trees
Oh, I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Wait for me
(If I should fall behind) Wait for me
Wait for me
