Bennett, Tony - Sleepin' Bee Lyrics






When you’re in love and you are wonderin’
If he really is the one
There’s an ancient sign sure to tell you
If your search is over and done
Just catch a bee and if he don’t sting you
You’re in a spell that’s just begun
It’s a guarantee ‘til the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won

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 with a mornin' moon,
and where the days go laughin' by, as love comes a callin' on you.

Sleep on bee, don't waken, I can't believe what just passed.
She's mine for the takin' I’m so happy at last.
Maybe I dreams, but she seems sweet golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me, that I’ll walk with my feet off the ground
when my one true love, I has found.

    When you’re in love and you are wonderin’
    If he really is the one
    There’s an ancient sign sure to tell you
    If your search is over and done
    Just catch a bee and if he don’t sting you
    You’re in a spell that’s just begun
    It’s a guarantee ‘til the end of time
    Your true love you have won, have won

    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 with a mornin' moon,

    Hi Guys: Tony does the intro, as I'd like to.  His pace with the melody would, for me, be a bit slow.  FYI

    I love this tune by Harold Arlen. One of Tony's best recordings accompanied by wonderful Ralph Sharon on piano.
