We said we'd walk together, baby, come what mayThat come the twilight should we lose our wayIf as we're walking a hand should slip freeI'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for meWe swore we'd travel, darling, side by sideWe'd help each other stay in strideBut each lover's steps fall so differentlyBut I'll wait for you, and if I should fall behind wait for meNow everyone dreams of love lasting and trueOh but you and I know what this world can doSo let's make our steps clear that the other may seeAnd I'll wait for you, and if I should fall behind wait for meNow there's a beautiful river in the valley aheadThere 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wedShould we lose each other in the shadow of the evening treesI'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for meDarling, I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind wait for meYeah I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind wait for meI'll wait for you, should I fall behind wait for meI'll wait for you, should I fall [fades out]

"The Girl I Left Behind", also known as "The Girl I Left Behind Me", is an English folk song dating back to the Elizabethan era.[1] It is said to have been played when soldiers left for war or a naval vessel set sail. According to other sources the song originated in 1758 when English Admirals Hawke and Rodney were observing the French fleet.[1] The first printed text of the song appeared in Dublin in 1791. A popular tune with several variations, "The Girl I Left Behind Me", may have been imported into America around 1650 as 'Brighton Camp',[2] of which a copy dating from around 1796 resides in the Bodleian Library, Oxford.[3]
The first known printed text of a song with this name appeared in the serial song collection The Charms of Melody, Dublin, Ireland, issue no. 72, printed in Dublin from 1791[6] and in Exshaw's Magazine (Dublin, September 1794).[7] The earliest known version of the melody was printed about 1810 in Hime's Pocket Book for the German Flute or Violin (Dublin), vol. 3, p. 67, under the title "The Girl I left Behind Me" (National Library of Ireland, Dublin).[8] Theodore Ralph claimed that it was known in America as early as 1650, under the name "Brighton Camp",[9] but there is no evidence to support this assumption, and the only known tune of "Brighton Camp"[10] differed from that of the song in question.
It has many variations and verses, for example "Blyth Camps, Or, the Girl I left behind Me" (1812, Newcastle), "Brighton Camp, or the Girl I left behind Me" (1815, Dublin, from which the "Brighton" title probably came), "Nonesuch," and others. Here is one example:
All the dames of France are fond and freeAnd Flemish lips are really willingVery soft the maids of ItalyAnd Spanish eyes are so thrillingStill, although I bask beneath their smile,Their charms will fail to bind meAnd my heart falls back to Erin's isleTo the girl I left behind me.
The hours sad I left a maidA lingering farewell takingWhose sighs and tears my steps delayedI thought her heart was breakingIn hurried words her name I blestI breathed the vows that bind meAnd to my heart in anguish pressedThe girl I left behind meThen to the east we bore awayTo win a name in storyAnd there where dawns the sun of dayThere dawned our sun of gloryThe place in my sightWhen in the host assigned meI shared the glory of that fightSweet girl I left behind meThough many a name our banner boreOf former deeds of daringBut they were of the day of yoreIn which we had no sharingBut now our laurels freshly wonWith the old one shall entwine meSinging worthy of our size each sonSweet girl I left behind meThe hope of final victoryWithin my bosom burningIs mingling with sweet thoughts of theeAnd of my fond returningBut should I n'eer return againStill with thy love i'll bind meDishonors breath shall never stainThe name I leave behind me
I'm lonesome since I crossed the hillAnd over the moor that's sedgySuch lonely thoughts my heart do fillSince parting with my BetseyI seek for one as fair and gayBut find none to remind meHow sweet the hours I passed awayWith the girl I left behind me
VERSE 1Gladly would I leave behind meAll the pleasure I have knownTo pursue surpassing treasuresAt the throne of God the SonWorthy of unending worshipLove and loveliness is HeBy His precious death were millionsFrom the jaws of death set free
Anderson Cooper takes us on a deeply personal exploration of loss and grief. He starts recording while packing up the apartment of his late mother Gloria Vanderbilt. Going through her journals and keepsakes, as well as things left behind by his father and brother, Cooper begins a series of emotional and moving conversations about the people we lose, the things they leave behind, and how to live on - with loss, with laughter, and with love.
As of May 2021, that's how much money was in some 24 million 401(k) accounts left behind at previous employers, according to a study by Capitalize, a company that helps Americans roll over their employer-sponsored retirement assets. Each year, the study found, people leave behind funds in about 2.8 million 401(k) accounts when they leave their jobs.
If you have left money behind, it would behoove you to track it down. The average balance in forgotten accounts is $55,400. Over a lifetime, says Capitalize, failure to reclaim these assets could cost individuals as much as $700,000 in retirement savings, an estimate based on data from the U.S. Department of Labor, the Census Bureau, 401(k) record-keepers, IRAs and the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
