Linda Ronstadt
"If I Should Fall Behind" lyrics

If I Should Fall Behind

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

But 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
