Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
[Verse 3]
I look from the wings at the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
As I'm sitting here, doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps
Written by: George Harrison
