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
But it's good when I finally make it home
All alone

While she lays dreaming
I try to get undressed without the light
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
But I told her if she was my girl
I would 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 that special night
If my song is right
I'll find a way, find a way

While she lays waiting
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
And I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend
And there's no end

While she lay crying, 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 true

And she believes in me
I'll never know just what she sees in me
But I told her 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 that special night
If my song is right
I'll find a way

And oh, she believes in me
I'll never know just what she sees in me
But I told her 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, someday on that special night
If my song is right
I will find a way

While she lays sleeping
Sleeping, sleeping
While she lays
