On A Wing And A Prayer — Jo Dee Messina

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

Looking back at her in the mirror is a stranger Years that have passed, how they seemed to change her A woman once able to stand on her own Searches for strength to stand on her own On a wing and a prayer

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

She held on to maybe as long as she could, knowing he wouldn't Believeing he would, give her a single reason to stay To keep her from breaking away on a wing and a prayer

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

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
