Jeff Healey Band, The - While My Guitar Gently Weeps Lyrics






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.
From every mistake we must surely be learning
And still my guitar gently weeps.
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too.
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.

I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps.
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps.

  2. j.... q....

    R.I.P buddy.

  3. j.... f....

    Jeff Healey. One of the greatest guitar players ever.

  4. D.... L....

    Romania 30 years ago, at revolution, never heard about Jeff then, but now, when i listening all his songs, is absolutely pure power, he is a genius, only Buckethead come closely

  5. G.... M....

    Singing voice, not perfect, but guitar...…? Terrible mullet though and yes I had one too back in the 80's. Apparently still alive in the USA I mean just look at the orange imbecile.
    Joking apart this is a belter!

  6. 5.... ....

    Amazingly gifted guy, backed by a great band! RIP Fella.

  7. J.... M....

    SHUT UP IT’S AMAZING BUT NOT BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION. Thank you bye.

  8. S.... ....

    This voice..... as a teen I listened before sleeping so many nights to his voice (and every morning the batteries of the disk-man have been empty :) ) I still don't regret it...

  9. I.... P....

    RIP Jeff. You're playing in the almighty band now mate.

  10. d.... ....

    This cover sounds twice better then Beatles...

  11. J.... V....

    The guitar is not supposed to be played like that. It is wrong and there should be legal consequences!!!

  16. M.... K....

    Very close to the original but still a great rendition RIP Jeff

  17. A.... ....

    This is the best version I ever heard. I don't know why every time I listen to his music I get overwhelmed..it seems like his sadness comes out from his voice. I really like his works but Im not able to keep listening it for a long time..

  18. E.... E....

    Valla Beatles veya Clapton'ın yeri başkadır fakat bu hali kat kat iyi, aynı Lemmy'nin Enter Sandman'i gibi.

  19. A.... L....

    See the cover by Emily Hastings , i find the 2 beautiful 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

  20. F.... V....

    SUBLIME!

  21. M.... D....

  24. s.... m....

    203 complete imbeciles roam the internet :(

  25. D.... M....

    Is that Jerry Seinfeld on every other instrument?

  27. A.... L....

    Brasil Rio de Janeiro

  29. N.... P....

    Can't believe it's been 11 years since you've passed.. RIP Jeff

  30. A.... S....

    Together with Jimmy's All along the Watchtower, one of the few covers that smoke the originals.

    A.... S....

    Couldn’t agree more, both amazing can’t say that about many covers

  31. R.... B....

    Musica top de George Harrison, só estes traillers cartilha da ONU que destoaram a musica.

  32. J.... B....

    Adoro esta musica.
    Para mim a melhor interpretação é pelo carlos Santana

  33. K.... K....

    Made me allmost cry. Later heard that singer songwritwer died. And when Understoud J.H Died. I Knew at the moment but took me so looong to understand. That its TRUE

  34. B.... N....

    An awesone cover, ....thank you, Jeff.

  35. E.... R....

    Eu era criança ainda quando vi esses caras cantando na televisão e fiquei encantado com eles tocando essa música dos Beatles,me orgulho muito sem me gabar, sinal de que sempre fui de bom gosto 😅😅😅

  61. I.... r....

    fantastic musician, musically talented , gone to soon

  62. D.... v....

    Great version.

  63. E.... H....

    I saw them play in a bar in Red Deer Alberta 1998 (maybe), best concert ever!

  64. K.... K....

    This guy was a maestro he could rock with best even playing a guitar as he did. RIP Jeff

  65. r.... ....

    After hearing this I went back to the Harrison/Clapton version from the Concert for Bangladesh, considered the definitive rendition. Healey makes ERIC CLAPTON sound like an amateur! Try it yourself!

  66. �.... �....

    Жаль умер !!! Очень светлая память !!! Талант был непревзойденный !!

  67. F.... H....

    In 1998 we had our Christmas party at a pub in Toronto. We get there and my then boss casually mentions that there is live music: Jeff Healey band. I thought she was joking, but she wasn't !!! What a treat that night was. At the intermission I talked to Jeff a bit - he was humble and generally a great guy.

  68. B.... b....

    His guitar wasn't plugged in

  69. s.... l....

    one of the most beautiful songs ever!!

  70. J.... K....

    RIP Jeff Healey, from a huge fan who actually shook the entire bands hands after a concert in Esbjerg Denmark, many years ago.
    Your guitar is divine.

  71. H.... H....

    How did such a talented blind guy get that damn haircut??

  72. J.... B....

    Jeff was the best guitar player who ever played fact . Awesome x

  73. G.... 0....

    Fantastic. Glad i saw him live in Norway in the 90's.

  74. a.... ....

    Absolute Genius ! We miss you Jeff ! Thank you !

  75. a.... f....

    I play guitar and im not blind but wish  could play like that ...wow

  76. J.... R....

    Ha I thought this was the original when I was little. I never knew he was blind! Incredible

  77. R.... E....

    le meilleur des guitariste love

  78. M.... C....

    not bad for a blind white guy

  79. H.... N....

    TOP !!!

  80. b.... ....

    Beautiful player..
    The worst mullet I’ve ever seen.

  81. M.... L....

    A great artist and a underaded artist. RESPECT and R.I.P. 🎸😎

  82. �.... �....

    epic !!!

  83. A.... F....

    My favourite version of this George Harrison song. Jeff was a phenomenal Blues artist and a guitar virtuoso with his unique lap style of playing ...

  84. s.... z....

    igazi remek zene sajnos már nem alkot újat

  85. �.... �....

    Красавчик!

  86. D.... i....

    So as I watch this I noticed there are 162 people that have put a thumbs down....wtf really.. how can you even thumbs down this Jeff is blind and plays the guitar better than some that can see....smh.

  87. A.... A....

    Imagin zakk wylde shredding in this song 😍

  88. G.... F....

    prince set me here...

  89. M.... ....

    This is the only rendition of this song, where the guitar actually weeps. And only one man can make it do that - Jeff Healey. One of the greatest guitar players ever. And the man did this without the gift of sight. What a legend! May he rest in peace.

  90. M.... D....

    My favorite song Jeff H...better than original :)

  91. E.... D....

    kesinlikle mükemmel <3

  92. a.... P....

    quando una cover supera l'originale...scusami George ma la chitarra di Jeff è indescrivibile

  93. S.... ....

    Lookout it's Sigurd, snake in the eye!!

  94. m.... m....

    I look at you old and I see the love sleeping while my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping but still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how nobody told you how to un fold your love that's how it goes right??

  95. m.... m....

    This is like it came out in 2018 but it's not

  96. J.... G....

    154 deaf people.
