If I Should Fall Behind

Lyrics

We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may That come the twilight should we lose our way It's as if we were walking and a hand should slip free You know, I'll wait for you And should I fall behind, wait for me We swore we'd travel, darling, always side by side We'd help each other stay in their stride But each lover's steps, they fall so differently You know, I'll wait for you If I should fall behind, please, wait for me If I should fall behind Now everyone dreams of a lover lasting and true Oh, but you and I know what this world can do So let's make our steps clear so each other can see You know, I'll wait for you And if I should fall behind, wait for me Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead Underneath the old oak's bough where we soon shall be wed But should we lose each other in the shadows of the evening trees You know, I'll wait for you, should I fall behind If I should fall behind, I know, I hope you'll wait for me You said we'd walk together, baby, come what may That come the twilight if we should ever lose our way And as if we're walking and a hand should slip free You know, I'll always wait for you And should I fall behind, wait for me
