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
