kenny rogers - she believes in me lyrics

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 can find a way

while she lays waiting
i stumble to the kitchen for a bite
and 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 can find a way
while she waits
while she waits
for me
