Beatles

while my guitar gently weeps

I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor
And I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world
And I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake
We must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look from the wings
at the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps

As I'm sitting here
doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps


I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
