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 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
