By The Time I Get To Phoenix |
|
- Engebert Humperdinck |
|
By the time I get to Phoenix, |
|
she'll be rising |
|
She'll find the note I left hanging |
|
on her door |
|
She'll laugh when she reads the part |
|
That says: "I'm leaving" |
|
'Cause I've left that girl |
|
so many times before |
|
By the time I make Albuquerque, |
|
she'll be working |
|
She'll prob'ly stop at lunch |
|
and give me a call |
|
But she'll just her that phone |
|
keep on ringing |
|
Off the wall, that's all |
|
By the time I make Oklahoma, |
|
she'll be sleeping |
|
She'll turn softly |
|
and call my name out low |
|
And she'll cry just to think |
|
I'd really leave her |
|
Though time and time |
|
I tried to tell her so |
|
She just didn't know |
|
I would really go |
