On a Wing and a Prayer

[Verse 1]

She sits in the dark, quietly cursing

Him and this love while she's rehearsing

Every line she's gonna say

When she walks away

On a wing and a prayer

[Verse 2]

Looking back at her in the mirror's a stranger

Years that have passed, how they seemed to change her

A woman once able to stand on her own

Now searches for strength to move on

On a wing and a prayer

[Chorus]

On a wing and a prayer

She's leaving tonight, holding her heart in her hands

Somewhere out there

She knows that she'll find a love that understands

Why she left there on a wing and a prayer

[Verse 3]

She held on to maybe as long as she could

Knowing he wouldn't, believing he would

Give her a single reason to stay

To keep her from breaking away

On a wing and a prayer

[Chorus]

On a wing and a prayer

She's leaving tonight, holding her heart in her hands

Somewhere out there

She knows that she'll find a love that understands

Why she left there on a wing and a prayer

[Refrain]

Somewhere out there

She knows that she'll find a love that understands

Why she left there on a wing and a prayer

Oh, why she left there on a wing and a prayer
