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
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.
A sleepin' bee done told me, that I’ll walk with my feet off the ground
when my one true love, I has found.

Bennett, Tony Sleepin' Bee Comments
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.
Glad Truman Capote never sang this even though most extraordinary lyrics in the songbook o America.
masterful
Tony sings on Facebook at: Friends of Tony Bennett
Exquisite - and lyrics by Truman Capote!
I prefer the 1960s tony bennett recordings before he ecame jazz singer
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.
The whole album?
it's in the box set
Please post more! I'd love to find this on CD!
oh my goodness..i need this record!!!!
thank you so much for sharing!
