GIBB, Steve

She believes in me

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 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

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, find a way

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

…..

While she lays, while she waits for me
