While she lay sleeping
I stayed out late at night and played my songs
And sometimes all the night can be so long
That 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 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 little song
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 lay 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 lay crying

I fumble with a melody or two
And I am thrown between the things that I should do
Then she said to wake her up when I am thru
God my 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 song
I was wrong

But she has faith in me
And so 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
Find a way
While she lays waiting for me
