[Verse 1]
We said we'd walk together, come what may
That come the twilight, should we lose our way
If as we're walkin' 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 to stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently

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

[Harmonica Solo]

[Bridge]
Now everyone dreams of love lastin' and true
But you and I know what this world can do
Let's make our steps clear so that the othеr may see

[Refrain]
And I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me
[Verse 4]
Now therе's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
And there 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening tree

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