A Sleepin' Bee - Nancy Wilson, Cannonball Adderley, Sweet

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

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

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

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
