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
 
 
 Well...
 
 
 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 at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
 
 
  [LOVE version:]
 
 I look from the wings at the play you are staging.
 
 While my guitar gently weeps
 
 Look at you all
 
 
  [LOVE version:]
 
 As I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging
 
 Still my guitar gently weeps
 
 
 Oh, oh
 
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
 Oh, oh, oh, oh
 
 
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, ooh
