Bruce Springsteen - If I Should Fall Behind Lyrics






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 wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait 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 differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should 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
If I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

Bruce Springsteen If I Should Fall Behind Comments
  1. L.... B....

    Can we play this on my funeral ? Gets my every time ....

  2. J.... B....

    We played this at our wedding. It gets me every time.

  3. S.... H....

    RIP big man...

  4. c.... ....

    I wonder if Clarence is waiting for the rest of the band in that big rock house in the sky? RIP Clarence

  5. L.... ....

    This song gathers resonance as you age.... we all gather reference points as we go along. A little bit of soul-touching genius from The Boss. RIP Clarence.

  6. J.... S....

    My husband & I had this for our first dance at our wedding 25 years ago. It’s perfect.

  7. J.... ....

    As of February 2020, 913 thumbs down from people who probably don't relate to music that isn't created on an iPad

  8. S.... B....

    When a best friend died unexpectedly at 59 yrs, his wife and soul mate had the chorus scripted on his grave. We were all Springsteen fans since our teens. My wife and soulmate of 36 years passed away unexpectedly last month at 60 yrs. Now, this loving song brings tears for another reason. Thanks Bruce and thanks E Street - I don’t mind not getting through this masterpiece without breaking down.

  9. J.... ....

    Ooohh that sax 😢😢😢😢

  10. B.... G....

    How good is this
    Nils and Clarence pure perfection

  33. J.... C....

    We said we'd walk together baby come what may

    I'll wait for you
    And should I fall behind
    Wait 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 differently
    But I'll wait for you
    And if I should fall behind
    Wait for me
    Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true
    Oh, but you and I know what this world can do
    So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
    I'll wait for you
    And if I should fall behind
    Wait for me
    Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead

    Wait for me
    Darlin' I'll wait for you
    Should I fall behind
    Wait for me
    Yeah, I'll wait for you
    Should I fall behind

    No other song has ever stirred up as many emotions in me as this one !

    Song gives me goosebumps, every time.

  41. J.... R....

    Wow, Nothing like a grown ass man tearing up at 4:30 a.m. while my family is peaceful and sleeping... God bless you Boss.... Not many can do it like Bruce...

  42. K.... P....

    Whose watching and listening to this beautiful music on November 17,2019? I remember back in high school,my writer’s craft teacher always play this song every single day. We all sat and had 5 minutes of silence while enjoying this. I miss those times

  43. S.... ....

    This is a nice song. I'm not trying to underplay it as I read the comments I see it is emotional for quite a lot of people. Perhaps it's because I'm alone and never been married so I don't have the connection to someone to base it on however I have dealt with losses of loved ones that have permanently destroyed me so that is the connection I'm making with this song. For the ones I've lost that I know are waiting for me when it's my time. The lyrics are so poetic and I love how the instrumental portion is understated to allow the lyrics to shine through. I came here because this song is talked about in a book I'm reading and I never heard it before so I'm checking it out. I think the story behind this song between he and his wife makes it even more special. I will be getting this song now to remember.

  44. J.... S....

    Simply the greatest. Thank You

  45. R.... J....

    My dear wife Patricia passed away 2 years ago, Bruce was her favorite not so much mine. The last concert ticket she bought was with my daughter to see Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. She died ten days before the concert. I know she's waiting for me. This is for her.

You do rock, and roll and rule! Wait for me Big Man-I want to hear your sax-a-mite again!

    So beautiful - gives you goosebumps xx

  93. R.... R....

    Despite the unequivocal and electric power that the boss exhibits on stage, this artist is capable of producing the softest. In this version, you can hear different voices pouring their heart out from the powerful yet sensitive, the raucous yet emotional, soft yet sturdy, silky yet sustained, all the way to the deep velvety voice of the big man and his magical saxophone.
    A very introspective and meditative piece of music (or should I say peace of music) that is suitable for any altar of love. This could be a love between a man and a woman, parent and child, siblings, friends, or between Man and God. It evokes the unity and reciprocity between two beings. One for the other, and back: I’ll wait for you/ And should I fall behind/ Wait for me. People go to church, temple, mosque or to any other holy shrine to pray, accompanied by some sort of music to help them reach a pensive state. Try this. It may help you get there faster.

  94. J.... Y....

    Played at my mums funeral she was a big brucie fan soooooo sad, especially when the big man sings :(

  95. Y.... E....

    Once again I'm bawling...damn when Clarence and Bruce sang...just completely lost it.....

  96. C.... M....

    ❤❤❤❤👐DIVINES❤❤❤❤👏✌👐

  97. m.... ....

    IMHO the best and my favourite version of that song from many of, I love it, the great passion and mix of voices.

  98. G.... G....

    The thumbs down shows that these people are not listening to the words and what they mean.
    This song is beautiful with so much meaning.
    My partner always says to me that if I die before her she will quickly follow.
    I love this song.
