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 dreamin' I touch her face across the silver light I see her dreams that drift up to the sky And she wakes up to my kiss And I say it's 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 songs, I was wrong But she has faith in me And so I go on trying faithfully Forever in my heart she will remain And I hope and pray I will find a way Find a way While she lays waiting I ask myself why do I hurt her so What calls me on along this lonely road Why don't I turn around and head back home Where I belong While she lays cryin' 'Cause she knows how my heart is ripped in two I'm torn between the things that I should do She deserves it all, and I'd give it if I could God her love is true 'Cause 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 songs, but I was wrong But she has faith in me And so I go on tryin' faithfully Forever in my heart she will remain And I hope and pray I will find a way Find a way While she lays While she waits For me
