Songwriter: George Harrison
I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
And 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
And I don't know why
Someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world
And I see it's still turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake
We must surely be learning, we'll be learning
While my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why
You were diverted
You were perverted too
And I don't know why
You were inverted
No one alerted you
And I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
And 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
And I don't know why
Someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world
And I see it's still turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake
We must surely be learning, we'll be learning
While my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why
You were diverted
You were perverted too
And I don't know why
You were inverted
No one alerted you
And I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
