If I Should Fall Behind

We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may That come the twilight should we lose our way If as we're walking a hand should slip free I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me We swore we'd travel, darling, 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 should I 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, should I 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, should I fall behind, wait for me Darling, I'll wait for you, should I fall behind, wait for me Oh, I'll wait for you, should I fall behind, wait for me
