Lyrics:

[Verse 1:]
While she lays sleeping
I stay up 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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 wind
While she lays crying
I fumble with a melody or two
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 ooohh

[Chorus]

[Chorus:]
And ooohh
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 (find a way)
While she lays sleeping (ooohh)
Sleeping
Sleeping (while she lays)
