Lyrics Jo Dee Messina – On A Wing And A Prayer

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

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
