[Verse 1]
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 allright and I hold her tight.
 
[Chorus]
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,   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...
 
[Verse 2]
While she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite,
then I see my old piano 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's love is true...
 
[End-Chorus]
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,   so I go on trying faithfully,
  and who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right,
I will find a way, I will find a way, find a way
while she waits,   while she waits,   while she waits.
