Lyrics of
I'm Only Sleeping

Im Only Sleeping, by The Beatles, was primarily written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership. Recorded in 1966, the song reflects Lennons fascination with the dream world and his then-preference for staying in bed. The theme of the song is the reluctance to wake up and face the day, preferring the comfort of dreams instead. Musically, it is notable for George Harrisons innovative reversed guitar solo, giving ... the song a unique sound. See more [+]

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, and float up stream (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
'Til 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
I stay in bed, and float upstream (float upstream)
Please don't wake me, no don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping
