Linda Ronstadt - If I Should Fall Behind Lyrics

We said we'd walk together baby come what may

There come the twilight should we lose our way

If as we're walking hands should slip free

I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind wait for me



We swore we'd travel darling side by side

And we'd help each other stay in stride

Each lover's steps fall so differently

So I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind wait for me



Everyone dreams of love lasting and true

But you and I know what this world can do

Let's make our steps clear that the other may see

And I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind wait for me



Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead

And there 'neath the oak's bough soon we'll be wed

Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees

I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind wait for me



Darling I'll wait for you

Should I fall behind wait for me

Darling I'll wait for you
