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 touch her face across the silver light I see her dreams that drift up to the sky And she wakes up to my kiss And I say it's alright 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 songs, But I was wrong But she has faith in me And so I go on trying faithfully Forever in my heart she will remain And I hope and pray, I will find away, find away While she lays waiting I ask myself why do I hurt her so What calls me on along this lonely road Why don't I turn around and head back home Where I belong While she lays crying For she knows how my heart is ripped in two I'm tom between the things that I should do She deserves it all and I'd give it if I could God, her love is true [Chorus] While she lays sleeping While she lays sleeping for me
