*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 when 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
*
Please don't wake me No, don't shake me
Leave me when I am I'm only sleeping
Tune all strings down 1/2 step!
