[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

[Refrain]
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
But I'll wait for you, and if I should fall behind, wait for me

[Bridge]
Now everyone dreams of a 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

[Refrain]
And I'll wait for you, and if I should fall behind, wait for me

[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me
Darlin', I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me
Yeah, I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me
I'll wait for you
