On A Wing & A Prayer Lyrics - Jo Dee Messina - 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 

Now searches for strength to move 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 will 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, 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 tonight 

Holding her heart in her hands 

Somewhere out there she knows 

That she'll find a love that will understands, 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
