While I Play

I cry tears of emotion To spread across the U.S.A Ain't no sunshine cowboy In your pockets I'll make my own way while I play Baby you forgot your living Someone covered up your eyes In my way at least I'm giving What I love, am I wise? There's gonna be some confusion And there's gonna be a day You'll raise your eyes And you'll look to the skies And you'll pray, while I play I am my father's son Or that is what I heard Maybe I got it wrong I didn't mean a word You got my face and I'll play your ace Pretend I haven't heard There's gonna be some confusion And there's gonna be a day You'll raise your eyes And look to the skies And you'll pray, oh while I play I am a minstrel That is all I want to be I'll play inside your soul I'll show you to yourself I'll fill your head with wild emotions A symphony in wealth There's gonna be some confusion And there's gonna be a day You'll raise your eyes And look to the skies And you'll pray, while I play I will take my leave I gotta move on time I played inside your soul I made you sing along I will return to find out if the melody was wrong There's gonna be some confusion And there's gonna be a day You'll raise your eyes And look to the skies And you'll pray, while I play, while I play
