While she lays sleeping
I stay out late at night and sing 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
Then she quietly says how was your night
And I come to her and say it was all right
And I hold her tight
Chorus
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 lies 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
Chorus
While she waits, while she waits for me
