While she lay sleeping
I stayed out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the night can be so long
That's good and 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 nights
And I come to her
And say it was alright
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
Could change the world with me little
I was wrong
But she has faith in me
And so go on trying restless
and who knows may be
On some special night
If my song was right
I will find the way, find the way
While she lay waiting
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

Then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me
Like my secret friend
And there's no end
While she lay crying
I fumble with a melody or two
Then I'm thru between the things that I should do
Then she said I wake her up
And I'm thru
God my love is true
So while she lay
While she waits for me
