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.
I look at you all.
Still my guitar gently weeps.
