| 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 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! |
