A Sleepin' Bee Lyrics - Loverly - 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 

Ill 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
