[Verse]
D
We said we'd walk together
G D
Baby, come what may
D
Then come the twilight
G D A
Should we lose our way
D
If as we're walking
G D
My hand should slip free
[Chorus]
D
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
G D
Will you wait for me
D G D G A (x2)
[Verse]
D
We swore we'd travel
G
Darling, side by side
D G A
We'd help each other stay in stride
D
But each lover's steps fall
G D
So differently
[Chorus]
D
I'll wait for you,
Should I fall behind
G D
Will you wait for me
D G D G A (x2)
[Bridge]
G
Now everyone dreams of a love
D
Lasting and true
But you and I know
A
What this world can do
D
So let's make our steps clear
G
So the other may see
[Chorus]
D
I'll wait for you
And should fall behind
G D
Will you wait for me
[Verse]
D
Now there's a beautiful river
G
In the valley ahead
D
There 'neath the oak's bough
G A
Soon we will be wed
D
Should we lose each other
G
In the evening trees
[Chorus]
D
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
G D
Will you wait for me
D
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
G D
Will you wait for me
D
I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
G D
Will you wait for me
