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
For ever and ever
By the time I make Alberquerque
She'll be working
You'll stay in my heart and I will love you
For ever, and ever
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call
We never will part and how I love you
Together, together
That's how it must be to live without you
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Would only mean heartbreak for me
Off the wall, 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 think
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
She just didn't really know I would really go
I say a little prayer for you
No she didn't know I'd go
For you, for you
No she didn't know I'd go
For you
