we said we'd walk together [bad word] what may  [bad word] the twilight should we lose our way 
if as we were walking a hand should slip free 
and i will wait for you 
should i fall behind 
wait for me 

we swore we'd travel darling side by side 
we'd help each other stay in stride 
but each others lover steps fall so differently 
i'll wait for you 
and should i fall behind 
wait for me 

now everyone dreams of love lasting and [bad word] 
but you and i know what this world can do 
let's make our steps clear so that the other may see 
and i will wait for you 
and should i fall behind 
wait for me 

now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead 
there neath the oaks bough soon we will be wed 
and should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees 
i'll wait for you dear 
and should i fall behind 
wait for me
