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 [fade]
