The Beatles - I'm only sleeping

While we're at it, down on Memory Lane;
This one has nothing to do with the White Album... It's from "Revolver", my first LongPlaying mono record, given to me by my mother....I  just added it as a treat - Cause it's so nice even with a bit annoying but very innovative (back then, that is!) backwards guitars!

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

Somehow, this is exactly how, almost everyone in my family, feels about the sacred act of sleeping!
