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
