| 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 |
