If I Should Fall Behind — Linda Ronstadt

written by Bruce Springsteen © Bruce Springsteen

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
