A Sleepin' Bee - Audra McDonald

When a bee lies sleepin' 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 in the mornin' dew

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’m so happy at last

Maybe I dreams, but he seems sweet, golden as a crown

A sleepin' bee done told me

I’ll walks with my feet off the ground

When my one true love I has found

When you’re in love and you are wond’rin'

If he really is the one

There’s an ancient sign should tell you

If your search is over and done

Catch a bee, and if he don’t sting you

You’re in a spell that’s just begun

It’s a guarantee to the end of time

Your true love you have won

Have won

Sleep on, bee, don’t waken, can’t believe what just passed

He’s mine for the takin', I’m so happy at last

Maybe I dreams, but he seems sweet, golden as a crown

A sleepin' bee done told me

I’ll walks with my feet off the ground

When my one true love I has found
