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
