| We said we’d walk together, come what may
|
| If in the twilight should we lose our way
|
| If as we’re walking a hand should slip free
|
| I’ll wait for you, if I should fall behind, wait for me
|
| We swore we’d travel, side by side
|
| We’d help each other stay in stride
|
| But each lover’s steps fall so differently
|
| I’ll wait for you, if I should fall behind, wait for me
|
| Everyone dreams of 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
|
| 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 where we soon will be wed
|
| But if we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
|
| I’ll wait for you, if I should fall behind, wait for me
|
| Darling, I’ll wait for you, if I should fall behind, wait for me
|
| Oh, I’ll wait for you, if I should fall behind, wait for me |
