Only Sleeping

Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

John Lennon/Paul McCartney

Don’t honk if I look sleepy,
I know it may seem creepy,
but much depends on why
I let the world pass by,
and if I’d rather slumber,
my senses unencumbered,
reality has proved so vile,
and dreams are more my style.
