we said we'd walk together baby come what may
that come the twilight should we lose our way
if as we were walking a hand should slip free
and i will wait for you
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 others lover steps fall so differently
i'll wait for you
and should i fall behind
wait for me
now everyone dreams of love lasting and true
but you and i know what this world can do
let's make our steps clear so that the other may see
and i will wait for you
and should i fall behind
wait for me
now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
there neath the oaks bough soon we will be wed
and should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
i'll wait for you dear
and should i fall behind
wait for me
