Wing & A Prayer

Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees

Lovers in ancient times



Now it begins, I see it in your eyes

And I know how you feel, you long to touch the sky

The flame of life, let it eat your heart out every night

But you're not alone



This is your world, this is your world

Lovers in ancient time, caught in the fire

Only the strong survive, how can we face tonight

Live an illusion, don't let it fade and die



Something deep inside you, a wing and a prayer will guide you

Something deep inside you

Something deep inside you, a wing and a prayer will guide you

Something deep inside you



Go now, girl, don't look back

This is your one big chance

I place my fingers to your lips

And I tell you my love flies with you

On a wing and a prayer

On a wing and a prayer



No muscle and bone, rhythm is the key

There's everything to play for, you're everything to me

The game of life, win it and your love comes tumbling down

You'll never be alone, never be alone, never be alone



This is your world, this is your world

Lovers in ancient time, caught in the fire

Only the strong survive, how can we face tonight

Live an illusion, don't let it fade and die



Something deep inside you, a wing and a prayer will guide you

Something deep inside you

Something deep inside you, a wing and a prayer will guide you

Something deep inside you



Something deep inside you, a wing and a prayer will guide you

Something deep inside you

Something deep inside you, a wing and a prayer will guide you

Something deep inside you



Something deep inside you, a wing and a prayer will guide you
