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
|
