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
When quietly she says,
"How was your night?"
And I come to her and say it was all right
And I hold her tight...
(Refrain)
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 strumble to the kitchem
For a bite
Then I see my old guitar
In the night
Just waiting for me
Like a secret friend
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...
(Repeat Refrain)
