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
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
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 for me
For me!
