She Believes in Me

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 aloneWhile 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 tightAnd 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 wrongBut 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 wayWhile 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 endWhile 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

God, her love is trueAnd 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 wrongBut 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
