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're walking hands should slip free

[Refrain]

I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind, wait for me

[Verse 2]

We swore we'd travel, darling, side by side

And we'd help each other stay in stride

But each lover's steps fall so differently

[Refrain]

So I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind, wait for me

[Bridge]

Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true

But you and I know what this world can do

Let's make our steps clear that the other may see

[Refrain]

And I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind, wait for me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead

And there 'neath the oak's bough soon we'll be wed

But should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees

[Refrain]

I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind, wait for me

Darling, I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind, wait for me

Darling, I'll wait for you
