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 touch
her face across
the silver light
I see her dreams that
drift up to the sky
Then she wakes up
to my kiss
and I say it's 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 songs
But I was wrong
But she has
faith in me
And so I go on
trying faithfully
Forever in my heart
she will remain
and I hope and pray
I will find a way,
find a way
While she lays
waiting I ask myself
why do I hurt her so
What calls me
on along this
lonely road
Why don't I turn
around and
head back home
Where I belong
While she lays crying
'Cos she knows
my heart is
ripped in two
I'm torn between
the things that
I should do
She deserves it all
and I'd give it
if I could
God, her love is true
'Cos 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 songs
But I was wrong
But she has
faith in me
And so I go on
trying faithfully
Forever in my heart
she will remain
And I hope and pray
I will find a way,
find a way
While she lays
While she waits
for me
