“I’m Only Sleeping”

The Beatles

ALBUM: Revolver

1966

Songwriter(s): Lennon–McCartney 

When I wake up early in the morning

Lift my head, I’m still yawning

When I’m in the middle of a dream

Stay in bed, float up stream

Please, don’t wake me, no, don’t shake me

Leave me where I am, I’m only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I’m lazy

I don’t mind, I think they’re crazy

Running everywhere at such a speed

Till they find there’s no need (There’s no need)

Please, don’t spoil my day, I’m miles away

And after all I’m only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window

Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling

Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please, don’t spoil my day, I’m miles away

And after all I’m only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window

Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning

Lift my head, I’m still yawning

When I’m in the middle of a dream

Stay in bed, float up stream

Please, don’t wake me, no, don’t shake me

Leave me where I am, I’m only sleeping
