D
We said we'd walk together, baby come what may
                                            Bm
That come the twilight, should we loose our way
             G                          D
If as we're walking, your hand should slip free
               Bm
I'll wait for you
          G
should I fall behind
          D
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
Yea, I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me
