“i’m only sleeping” (lyrics)

VERSE 1:

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…
(float upstream)

CHORUS 1:

please don’t wake me…no don’t shake me…
leave me where i am…i’m only sleeping…

VERSE 2:

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)

CHORUS 2:

please don’t spoil my day…i’m miles away…
and after all i’m only sleeping…

BRIDGE:

keeping an eye on the world going by my window…
taking my time…

VERSE 3:

lying there and staring at the ceiling…
waiting for a sleepy feeling…

CHORUS 3:

please don’t spoil my day…i’m miles away…
and after all i’m only sleeping…

ooh yeah…

BRIDGE:

keeping an eye on the world going by my window…
taking my time…

VERSE 4:

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…
(float upstream)

CHORUS 4:

please don’t wake me…no don’t shake me…
leave me where i am…i’m only sleeping…
