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 dreamin'
i touch her face across the silver light
i see her dreams that drift up to the sky
and she wakes up to my kiss, and i say it's alright
and i hold her tight
*chorus*
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, i was wrong
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 cryin'
'cause she knows how 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
'cause 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 tryin' faithfully
forever in my heart she will remain
and i'll hope and pray
i will find a way, find a way
While she waits
while she waits
for me
