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
