While my guitar gently weeps
(Harrison)

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 converted
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
I look, look at you all...
still my guitar gently weeps
