While she lay sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs 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 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, 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 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 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 lays, while she waits for me
