Lyrics A Sleepin' Bee - Cassandra Wilson

When a bee lies sleepin′
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
In the mornin' dew
And where the days go laughin′ by
When love comes callin′ on you
Sleep on, bee, don't waken
Can′t believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin′
I am so happy at last
Maybe I dream but he seems sweet
And golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me
I′ll walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I have found
When a bee lies sleepin'
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
In the mornin' dew
And where the days go laughin′ by
When love comes callin' on you
Sleep on, bee, don′t waken
Can't believe what just passed
He′s mine for the takin'
I am so happy at last
Maybe I dream but he seems sweet
And golden as a crown
Sleepin' bee done told me
When I walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I have found
