When a bee
Lies sleeping
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' new
And where the days
Go laughin' by
As 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 dreams
But he seems
Sweet golden
As a crown

A sleepin' bee
Done told me
I will walk
With my feet
Off the ground
When my one
True love
I has found

Sleep on bee
Don't waken
Cannot believe
What just passed
He's mine
For the takin'
I'm happy at last

Maybe I dreams
But he seems
Golden as a crown

A sleepin' bee
Told me
I will walk
With my feet
Off the ground
When my one
True love
I has found
