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, 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 waitin 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 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, 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 waits... While she waits for me While she waits for me While she waits for me...
