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 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, while she waits for me
