Lyrics
[Intro: John Lennon] "I'm Only Sleeping," take one [Verse 1: John Lennon & (Paul 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 (Float up stream) [Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney] Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping [Verse 2: John Lennon & (Paul McCartney)] 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) [Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney] Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away And after all, I'm only sleeping [Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney] Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time [Verse 3] Lying here and staring at the ceiling Waiting for a sleepy feeling [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney] Please don't spoil my day, I'm miles away And after all, I'm only sleeping [Bridge: John Lennon & Paul McCartney] Keeping an eye on the world going by my window Taking my time [Verse 4: John Lennon & Paul 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 upstream [Chorus: John Lennon & Paul McCartney] Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping
