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 alone

While 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 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 little songs, I was wrong

But 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 way

While 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 end

While she lays crying

I fumble with a melody or two

And I'm torn between the things

That I should do

Then she says to wake her up

When I am through

God, her 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 go on trying faithfully

And who knows maybe

On some special night

If my song is right

I will find a way

While she lays

While she waits

For me
