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 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 Ohhhhhh 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
