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 can find a way While she lays waiting I stumble to the kitchen for a bite And 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 can find a way While she waits While she waits For me
