[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 up stream

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
Thinking what I'm gonna have to dream
Waiting 'til I find a stream

[Chorus]
Please, don't shake the bed
I'm in my head
And after all
I'm only sleeping
