We said wed walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as were walkin a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
We swore wed travel darlin side by side
Wed help each other stay in stride
But each lovers steps fall so differently
Girl 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 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 oaks bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
Girl I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
And girl I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
