We said we'd walk together baby come what may    That come the twilight should we lose our way    If as we're walkin a hand should slip free    I'll wait for you    And should I fall behind    Wait for me       We swore we'd travel darlin' 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       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    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 be wed    Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees    I'll wait for you    And should I fall behind    Wait for me    Darlin' I'll wait for you    Should I fall behind    Wait for me
