A Sleepin’ Bee Songtext
von Mel Tormé

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
