Is "While she lays sleeping" correct?
I found it in a song called "She Believes (In Me)" by Ronan Keating who is one of my favorite artists.
She Believes (In Me) lyrics: http://www.elyrics.net/read/r/ronan-keating-lyrics/she-believes-(In-me)-lyrics.html

(The singer does pronounce "s" when he sings.)

no, it's not correct! But using "lays" instead of "lies' is a mistake often made by uneducated native speakers.
