Lyrics A Sleepin' Bee - Carmen McRae

When a bee lie sleeping in the palm of your hand
You're bewitched and deep in love's long-looked-after-land
Where you'll see a sun up sky with a morning new
And where the days go laughing by
As love comes a-calling on you

Sleep on, bee, don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the taking, I'm so happy at last
Maybe I dreamed, but he seems sweet golden as a crown
A sleeping bee has told me, I walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I have found

Sleep on, bee, don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the taking, I'm so ha-happy at last
Maybe I dreamed, but he seems sweet, golden as a crown
A sleeping bee has told me, I walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I have found
