Lyrics
When a bee lies sleepin'
In the palm of your hand
You're bewitched and deep in love's
Looked after land
Where you'll see a sun-up sky
With the mornin' new
And where the days go laughin' by
As love comes a-calling on you
Sleep on, bee, don't waken,
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
I walks with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I has found
Musical Interlude
Sleep on, bee, don't waken,
Can not 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
I walks with my feet off the ground
For she's my true love
When my one true love
I've found
Sleepin' bee
Boh-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-sleepin' bee
Writer(s): Harold Arlen, Truman Capote
