On the Couch

(Harold Adamson & Jimmie McHugh) 

One of our planes was missing 
Two hours overdue 
One of our planes was missing 
With all its gallant crew 
The radio sets were humming 
We waited for a word 
Then a noise broke 
Through the humming and this is what we heard 

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer 
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer 
Though there's one motor gone 
We can still carry on 
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer 

What a show, what a fight, boys 
We really hit our target for tonight 
How we sing as we limp through the air 
Look below, there's our field over there 
With just one motor gone
We can still carry on 
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer 

Comin' in on a wing and a prayer 
Comin' in on a wing and a prayer 
With our full crew on board 
And our trust in the Lord 
We're comin' in on a wing and a prayer
