while my guitar gently weeps

Eric Clapton

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

Look at you all
Look at you all
Look at you all
Look at you all

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

Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Look at you all
Look at you all
Look at you all
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
