We said we'd walk together,

Baby come what may,

Then come the twilight,

Should we lose our way,

But if as we're walkin',

A hand should slip free,

Well, I will wait for you,

And if I fall behind wait for me.



Baby we swore we'd travel,

Darlin' side by side,

That we'd help each other stay in stride,

But each lover's steps fall so differently,

Well, I will wait for you,

Should I fall behind wait for me.



Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true,

But you and I know what this world can do,

So lets make our steps clear so the other may see,

And I'll wait for you,

Should I fall behind wait for me.



There's a beautiful river,

In the valley ahead,

There neath the oaks bough,

Soon we will wed,

Should we lose each other,

In the shadow of the evening's tree,

Well, I will wait for you,

Should I fall behind wait for me.



I'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me.
