While she lay sleeping I stayed out late at night and play my songs And sometimes all the night can be so long That's good and I finally make it home all alone While she lays dreaming I try to get undressed without the light And quietly she says How was your nights And I come to her And say it was alright And I hold her tight And she believes in me
I'll never know Just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl Could change the world with me little I was wrong But she has faith in me And so go on trying restless and who knows may be On some special night If my song was right I will find the way, find the way While she lay waiting I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Then I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me Like my secret friend And there's no end While she lay crying I fumble with a melody or two Then I'm thru between the things that I should do Then she said I wake her up And I'm thru God my love is true So while she lay While she waits for me
