[Bruce Springsteen]
We said we'd walk together, darling, come what may
And 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, will you wait for me?

[Patti Scialfa]
We swore we'd travel, darling, side by side
And we'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
I'll wait for you, should I fall behind, you wait for me

[Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa]
Now everyone dreams of love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do

[Bruce Springsteen]
So let's make our steps clear so the other may see

[Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa]
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, will you wait for me?

[Bruce Springsteen]
There's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
And there 'neath the oak's bough soon we'll be wed

[Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa]
Should we lose each other in the evening trees
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, will you wait for me?

[Bruce Springsteen]
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, will you wait for me?

[Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa]
I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, will you wait for me?

(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da)
(Da da da da, da da da, da da da da da)
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da da da)
(Da da da da, da da da, da da da da da)

Miss Patti Scialfa!

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
