Lyrics By the Time I Get to Phoenix - Ray Conniff and The Singers

By the time I get to Phoenix, she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hanging out 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 - working.
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call - a call.
But she'll just hear the phone keep on ring - keep on ring.
Off the wall, that's all.
By the time I make Oklahoma, she'll be sleeping - sleeping.
She'll turn softly and call my name out low - out low.
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so.
She just didn't know - du-du, du-du-du.
I would really go!
I would really go!
