While she lays sleeping I stay out late at night and play my songs, And sometimes all the nights can be so long... And it's good when I finally make it home All alone.
While she lays dreaming I try to get undressed without the light Then quietly she says: \"How was your night?\" 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 I could change the world With my little songs... I was wrong.
But she has faith in me And so I go on trying faithfully, And who knows maybe on some special night If my song is right I will find a way, find a way...
While she lays waiting I stumble to the kitchen for a bite Then I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend And there's no end.
While she lays crying I fumble with a melody or two And I'm torn between the things that I should do, Then she says to wake her up when I am through... God, her love is true...
And she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me, I told her someday if she was my girl I could change the world With my little songs... I was wrong.
But she has faith in me And so I go on trying faithfully, And who knows maybe on some special night If my song is right I will find a way while she lays, While she waits for me!
