While My Guitar Gently Weeps

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.

As all people of a certain age will know, this was a Beatles hit (1968).  It was written by George Harrison.  But it is not him playing the guitar – it was Eric Clapton.  No wonder it was good.

While my guitar gently weeps is so evocative – what a poetic talent.
