While she lay sleeping Stay out late at night and play my song 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 alright And 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 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 Who knows, maybe on some special night If my song is right I wil find a way While she lay While she wait for me
