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 at you all

see the love there that's sleeping

while my guitar gently weeps. look at you all. still my guitar gently weeps
