I'm Only Sleeping Lyrics



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 (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 (float up stream)

Please, don't wake me, no, don't shake me
Leave me where I am - I'm only sleeping

Anomalies

0:35
Click (right channel) just before lead vocals comes in.
* 1:08
Three clicks just after "...sleeping". Sounds like someone is snapping fingers to measure out bars. You can also hear the printthrough of a backwards guitar. Best using OOPS.
1:57
Voice says "Yawn Paul", and 2:01, he does!
2:34
Click before lead vocals comes in. Edit?
The yawning effect is a guitar recorded backward.
A few seconds before the yawn comes in, you can hear John Lennon say, "Yawn Paul."
