She Believes in Me

While she lays sleeping
I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights
Can seem so long
And its good when I finally make it home
All alone

While she lays dreaming
I try to get undressed without the lights
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'll go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night
If my song is right
I can find a way
While she lays

I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Oh, then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend
And there's no end
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 our 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'll go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night
If my song is right
I can find a way

While she lays
While she waits for me
