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
