A Sleepin' Bee (The Tonight Show, April 1961) Songtext
von Barbra Streisand

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 morning moon
And where the days go laughing by, as love comes a calling on you


Sleep on, bee, don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He′s mine for the taking, I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A sleeping 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 taking, I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams, but he seems
Golden as a crown
A sleeping bee told me
"I will walk with my feet off the ground"
When my one true love, I has found
