Artist/Band: The Beatles
Lyrics for Song: I'm Only Sleeping (Rehearsal)
Lyrics for Album: Anthology (Part 2) [1996]



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



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 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



Please don't wake me, no

don't shake me

Leave me where I am

I'm only sleeping


I'm Only Sleeping (Rehearsal)

Released as part of The Beatles' Anthology series, this recording captures a candid rehearsal session rather than a polished studio performance. The track features the band's signature harmonies and melodic sensibilities, showcasing their collaborative dynamic in a raw, unadorned setting. While the song itself is a staple of their discography, this specific version offers listeners an intimate glimpse into the creative process behind their iconic pop-rock sound. It reflects the group's ability to maintain musical cohesion even in informal environments, highlighting the human element often absent in official releases. The recording serves as a valuable document of their artistic evolution during the late 1990s, providing context to their earlier work without relying on commercial production techniques.
