She sits in the dark,
Quietly cursing,
Him and his love.
While she's rehearsing,
Every line that she's gonna say.
When she walks away,
On a wing and a prayer.
Looking back at her,
In the mirror's a stranger.
Years that have passed,
How they've 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.
On a wing and a prayer,
She's leaving tonite,
Holding her heart in her hands.
Somewhere out there,
She knows that she'll find,
A love that will understand.
Why she left there,
On a wing and a prayer.
She held on to maybe,
As long as she could.
Knowing he wouldnt,
Believing 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 tonite,
Holding her heart in her hands.
Somewhere out there,
She knows that she'll find,
A love that will understand.
Why she left there,
On a wing and a prayer.
Somewhere out there,
She knows that she'll find,
A love that will understand.
Why she left there,
On a wing and a prayer.
Oh why she left there,
On a wing and a prayer
