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 were walking a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for me

We swore that we would travel, darling, side by side
And we'd help each other to stay in stride
But each lover's step fall so differently now
Girl I'll wait for you, if I should 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 girl I'll wait for you, if I should fall behind wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
Girl I'll wait for you, if I fall behind wait for me
And girl I'll wait for you, if I should fall behind wait for me
