If I Should Fall Behind

We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may

That come the twilight should we lose our way

If as we were 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

But each lover's steps fall so differently

So I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me

Everyone dreams of a love lasting and true

But you and I know what this world can do

So let's make our steps clear that the other may see

And I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me

Ooh, ooh, oh

Wait for me, wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead

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
