She Believes In Me

While she lay, sleeping
I stay out, late at night and play my song
And sometimes, all the nights can be so long
And its good when I finally make it home, all alone
While she lies, dreaming
I try to get undressed without the light
Then 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
Ill 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 lies, 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 theres no end
While she lies, crying
I fumble with a melody or two
Then Im 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
Ill 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 waits
While she waits for me
