If I Should Fall Behind
Love's Promise: A Journey Through Life's Twists and Turns
Lyrics
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
We promised to walk together, facing whatever challenges may come our way.
That come the twilight should we lose our way
Especially during difficult times (twilight), if we lose our path, we'll find it together.
If as we're walking a hand should slip free
If one of us falters or faces difficulties while walking, I'll be there for support.
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you to catch up, showing patience and commitment.
And should I fall behind
If I lag behind or face challenges, please wait for me.
Wait for me
Reassurance that the speaker will reciprocate patience if the partner falls behind.
We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We pledged to journey together, supporting each other closely.
We'd help each other stay in stride
We committed to assisting one another in maintaining a harmonious pace.
But each lover's steps fall so differently
Acknowledgment that each person's journey and choices may differ.
But I'll wait for you
Despite differences, the speaker will wait for the partner in times of need.
And if I should fall behind
If the speaker lags behind, they ask for the partner's patience.
Wait for me
Reiteration of the commitment to waiting for each other.
Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true
A reflection on the universal desire for lasting and true love.
Oh, but you and I know what this world can do
A realistic acknowledgment of the challenges and hardships in the world.
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
Expressing a commitment to be transparent and supportive in their journey.
I'll wait for you
The speaker promises to wait if the partner faces challenges.
And if I should fall behind
If the speaker falls behind in life, they ask for the partner's patience.
Wait for me
Reiteration of the commitment to wait for each other.
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
Imagery of a beautiful river and impending marriage in the valley.
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Description of the future marriage beneath the oak trees.
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
In case they lose sight of each other in the shadows, the speaker will wait.
I'll wait for you
The speaker's commitment to waiting even in challenging circumstances.
Should I fall behind
If the speaker falls behind, they ask for the partner's patience.
Wait for me
Reassurance that waiting for each other is a mutual commitment.
Darlin' I'll wait for you
The speaker expresses a personal commitment to waiting for the partner.
Should I fall behind
If the speaker faces challenges, they request the partner's patience.
Wait for me
Reiteration of the mutual commitment to waiting for each other.
Yeah, I'll wait for you
A strong personal commitment to waiting for the partner.
Should I fall behind
If the speaker falls behind, they ask for the partner's patience.
Wait for me
Reiteration of the mutual commitment to waiting for each other.
I'll wait for you
The speaker expresses a personal commitment to waiting for the partner.
Should I fall behind
If the speaker faces challenges, they request the partner's patience.
Wait for me
Final reiteration of the mutual commitment to waiting for each other.
