Lyrics Maureen McGovern – A Sleepin’ Bee

When you’re in love and you are wonderin’
If he really is the one
There’s an ancient sign sure to 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 ’til the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won

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
With a mornin’ dew
And where the days go laughin’ by
As love comes a-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 walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found, has found
