Lyrics:

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's 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
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 on a wing and a prayer
Oh, why she left there on a wing and a prayer
