If I Should Fall Behind
(Bruce Springsteen)

We said we'd walk together baby come what may

That come the twilight should we lose our way

If as we're walking a hand should slip free

I'll wit for you

And should I fall behind

What 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 differntly

So I'll wait for you

And should I 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

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 will be wed

Should we lose each other

In the shadow of the evening tress

I'll wait for you

And should I fall behind

Wait for me

Oh, wait for me
