While she lay sleeping I stayed out late at night and played my songs And sometimes all the night can be so long That 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 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 song 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 lay 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 lay crying I fumble with a melody or two And I am thrown between the things that I should do Then she said to wake her up when I am thru God my 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 song I was wrong But she has faith in me And so 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 Find a way While she lays waiting for me
