The moment I wake up, before I put o-on my makeup By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be risin'I say a little prayer for you-ou
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
While combing my hair, now
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'And wonderin' what dress to wear, now
I say a little prayer for-or you-ou'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
For ever and ever
By the time I make Alberquerque, she'll be workin'You'll stay in my heart and I will love you For ever, and ever, we never will part and how I love you-ou
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch and give me a call
Toge-ether, forever, that's how it must be to live without you
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin' Would only mean heartbreak for-or me-ee-ee
Off the wall, that's all
I run for the bus, dear, while riding I thi-ink of us, dear
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleepin'I say a little prayer for you-ou-ou
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
At work I just take time And she'll cry just to thi-i-ink And all through my co-offee break-time
I'd really leave her
I say a little prayer for you-ou-ou
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
She didn't really know I would really go
I say a little prayer-er-er for you-ou-ou
No she didn't know I'd go
For-or you-ou, for-or you-ou-ou
No she didn't know I'd go-o
For-or you-ou-ou
