She Believes In Me

[Originally by Kenny Rogers]

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 can 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 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 someday if she was my girl
I could change the world with my little songs
I was wrong

While she lays waiting
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Then I see my old guitar 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 her love is true

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
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
While she waits
While she waits for me
