By the Time I Get to Phoenix Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

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, left that girl many times before


By the time I make Albuquerque, she′ll be working
She'll probably stop for lunch, give me a call
But she′ll just hear that phone keep on ringing
Ringing of the wall, that's all, that′s all, that's all

By the time I make Oklahoma, she′ll be sleeping
She'll turn softly and she'll call my name out low
She′ll cry just to think, to think I′d really leave her
Though time and time, I tried to tell her so
She just didn't know I really would go
