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

And quietly she says how was your night

And I come to her and say

It was all right 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

And 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 waiting

I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

And 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

And 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

And 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 waits

While she waits

For me
