by the time i get to phoenix

Singer:andy williams

by the time i get to phoenix

she'll be risin'

she'll find the note i left hangin'

on her door

she'll laugh

when she reads the part

that says i'm leavin'

'cause i've left that girl

so many ti-imes before

by the time i make albuquerque

she'll be workin'

she'll prob'ly stop at lunch

and give me a call

but she'll just hear that pho-o-one

keep on ringin'

o-off the wall

that's all

by the time i make oklahoma

she'll be sleepin'

she'll turn softly

call my na-ame out low

and she'll cry-y

just to thi-i-ink i'd really leave her

though time and time

i've tried to tell her so

she just didn't know

i would really go
