While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs
|
And sometimes all the night 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
|
And I'm torn between the things that I should do
|
And she says to wake her up when I am til rough,
|
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!
