while she lays sleeping I stay out late at night and play 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 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 a secret friend like 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 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
