By the Time I Get to Phoenix

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
