While she lays sleeping
I stay out late at night and sing my songs
And sometimes all the nights this 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?"
Then I go 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 one day if she was my girl
I would change the world with my little songs
I was wrong
And 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
Waiting for me like some 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 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 one day if she was my girl
I would change the world with my little songs
And 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 
And she believes in me, I know
Believe, believe in me
