Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 if I should fall behind

Wait for me

[Verse 3]

Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true

Oh, but you and I know what this world can do

So let's make our steps clear that the other may see

I'll wait for you

And if I should fall behind

Wait for me

[Verse 4]

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

Should I fall behind

Wait for me

[Verse 5]

Darling, I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind

Wait for me

[Verse 6]

Yeah, I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind

Wait for me

[Verse 7]

I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind

Wait for me
