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
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
