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.Love is a rose but you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine.
A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
You lose your love when you say the word mine.
I wanna see what's never been seen,
I wanna live that age old dream.
Come on, lads, we can go together
Let's take the best right now,
Take the best right now.
I wanna go to an old hoe-down
Long ago in a western town.
Pick me up cause my feet are draggin'
Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon.
Love is a rose but you better not pick it
It only grows when it's on the vine.
A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it
You lose your love when you say the word mine.
Mine, mine.
Love is a rose, love is a rose.
Love is a rose, love is a rose.
