On A Wing And A Prayer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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.
