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 alone
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 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 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
Oh why she left there
On a wing and a prayer
