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 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 go on trying faithfully

And who knows maybe on some special night

If my song is right

I can find a way

While she waits

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

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

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 can find a way

While she waits

While she waits for me
