Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer
Circa 1943
Lyric by Harold Adamson, Music by Jimmy McHugh
Comin In On A WING and a PRAYER
One of our planes was miss-ing, two ho-ours o-ver due.
One of our planes was miss-ing, with all its gal-lant crew.
The ra-di-o sets were hum-ming, they wait-ed for a word;
Then a voice broke thru the hum-ming and this is what they heard:
Chorus
“Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
Tho’ there’s one mo-tor gone, we can still car-ry on,
Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
What a show_____ what a fight______
Yes, we real-ly hit our tar-get for to - night!
How we sing as we limp thru the air______
Look be - low, there’s our field o-ver there____
With our full crew a- board and our trust in the Lord
we’re Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
Good evening, Sand....just back from taking my Mom to the Credit Union. She had to sign in person to get my sister on her account. I think this completes everything on the list while her out-of-state kids are here.
Did you have a restful day? Any shop time?
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
