If I Should Fall Behind

We said that we'd walk together, baby, come what may That come the twilight, should we lose our way If as we were walkin', a hand should slip free I'll wait for you Should I fall behind Wait for me We swore we'd travel, darlin', side by side We'd help each other stay in stride But each lover's steps fall so differently I'll wait for you And if I should 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 let's make our steps clear so the other may see I'll wait for you If I should fall behind Wait for me 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 I'll wait for you And should I fall behind Wait for me I'll wait for you Should I fall behind Wait for me
