A Sleepin' Bee

Wynton Marsalis


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
