If I Should Fall Behind

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
