We said we'd walk together baby come what may. That come the twilight should we lose our way. If as we're walkin a hand should slip free. I'll wait for you. And 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. But 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 that the other may see. And I'll wait for you. If I should fall behind. 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. I'll wait for you. And should I fall behind. Wait for me. Darlin' I'll wait for you. Should I fall behind. Wait for me.
