While she lay 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 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 come 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
And while she lay 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'm 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 come special night
If my song is right
While she waits
While she waits for me.
