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
