I Say A Little Prayer / By The Time I Get To Phoenix - Anne Murray, Glen Campbell

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

(By the time I get to Phoenix

She’ll be rising)

I say a little prayer for you

(She'll find the note

I left hanging on her door)

While combing my hair now

(She'll laugh when she reads

The part that says I’m leaving)

And wondering what dress to wear now

I say a little prayer for you

(Cause I’ve left that girl

So many times before)

Forever and forever

(By the time I make Albuquerque

She’ll be working)

You’ll stay in my heart

And I will love you

Forever and ever

(She'll probably stop at lunch

And give me a call)

We never will part

And how I love you

Together, together

(But she’ll just hear that

Phone keep on ringing)

That’s how it must be

To live without you would

(Off the wall)

Only mean heartbreak for me

(That's all)

I run for the bus, dear

While riding, I think of us, dear

(By the time I make Oklahoma

She’ll be sleeping)

I say a little prayer for you

(She'll turn softly and

Call my name out low)

At work I just take time

(And she’ll cry just to feel)

And all through my coffee break-time

(I'd really leave her)

I say a little prayer for you

(Though time and time

I’ve tried to tell her so)

I say a little prayer for you

(She just didn’t know

I would really go)

No, she didn’t know I’d go
