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 like a secret friend,
 
 There's no end?
 
 While she lays crying, i fumble with a melody or two
 
 Than i'm torn between the things that i should do
 
 And she says to make 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, find a way...
 
 While she lays… while she waits for me!
