she believes in me
(steve gibb)
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
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!
