Artist/Band: The Beatles
Lyrics for Song: I'm Only Sleeping
Lyrics for Album: Revolver (Remastered) [2009]



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



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



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 that sleepy feeling



(solo)



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 upstream



Please don't wake me

No don't shake me

Leave me where I am

I'm only sleeping


About I'm Only Sleeping

"I'm Only Sleeping" stands as a quintessential example of The Beatles' innovative approach to studio production on the *Revolver* album. Released in 1966, the track showcases the band's mastery of the electric sitar, a sound introduced by George Harrison that became a defining characteristic of their later work. The song's structure, featuring a distinctive vocal harmony and a driving rhythm, reflects the group's shift toward more complex arrangements and experimental textures during this pivotal era. Musically, the recording bridges the gap between their earlier pop sensibilities and the psychedelic influences that would soon define the counterculture. It remains a staple of their discography, celebrated for its intricate layering and Harrison's melodic contributions. The track exemplifies how The Beatles utilized the recording studio as an instrument, creating a soundscape that was both commercially successful and artistically daring, cementing their legacy as pioneers of rock music.
