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, I 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
Then 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
