We said we'd walk together, baby, come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
It's as if we were walking and a hand should slip free
You know, I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind, wait for me

We swore we'd travel, darling, always side by side
We'd help each other stay in their stride
But each lover's steps, they fall so differently
You know, I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind, please, wait for me
If I should fall behind

Now everyone dreams of a lover lasting and true
Oh, but you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear so each other can see
You know, I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind, wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
Underneath the old oak's bough where we soon shall be wed
But should we lose each other in the shadows of the evening trees
You know, I'll wait for you, should I fall behind
If I should fall behind, I know, I hope you'll wait for me

You said we'd walk together, baby, come what may
That come the twilight if we should ever lose our way
And as if we're walking and a hand should slip free
You know, I'll always wait for you
And should I fall behind, wait for me
