If I Should Fall Behind

[Verse 1] We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may That come the twilight, should we lose our way If as we are walking a hand should slip free [Refrain] I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me [Verse 2] We swore we'd travel, darling, side by side We'd help each other stay in stride But each lover's steps fall so differently [Refrain] But I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me [Bridge] Now 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 othеr may see [Refrain] I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me [Verse 3] Now therе's a beautiful river in the valley ahead Beneath the oak's bough, soon we will wed Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees [Refrain] I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me [Outro] And should I fall behind, wait for me Wait for me
