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 touch her face
across the silver light
i see her dreams that drift
up to the sky
and she wakes up to my kiss
and i say it's 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 songs
but i was wrong
but she has faith in me
and so i go on trying
faithfully
forever in my heart
she will remain
and i hope and pray
i will find a way
find a way
while she lays waiting
i ask myself why do i hurt her so
what calls me on along
this lonely road
why don't i turn around
and head back home
where i belong
while she lays crying
cause she knows my heart
is ripped in two
i'm torn between the things
that i should do
she deserves it all
and i'd give it if i could
god her love is true
cause 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 songs
but i was wrong
but she has faith in me
and so i go on trying faithfully
forever in my heart she will remain
and i hope and pray
i will find a way
find a way
while she waits
while she waits for me
