Slow Like Honey - Jane Monheit

You moved like honey in my dream last night

Yeah some old fires were burning

You came near to me and you endeared to me But you couldn’t quite discern me Does that scare you?

I’ll let you run away

But your heart will not oblige you

You’ll remember me like a melody

Yeah I’ll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret Gonna win you over

Slow like honey heavy with mood

I’ll let you see me I’ll covet your regard

I’ll invade your demeanor

And you’ll yield to me like a scent in the breeze

And you’ll wonder what it is about me It’s my big secret — Keeping you coming

Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving

Like faces are to hearts

They serve for sweet relieving

When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge

And I pull you to the edge

And stand there waiting

Trying to attain

The end to satisfy the story

Shall I release you?

Must I release you?

As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret

Gonna hover over your life

Gonna keep you reaching

When I’m gone like yesterday

When I’m high like heaven

When I’m strong like music

'Cuz I’m slow like honey, and

Heavy with mood
