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
