|
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 can 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
|
|
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
|
