Either from "The Folk Sampler", or the "Midnight Special", or possibly from a folk program on WTJU (Charlottesville, VA). I cannot find it online by a lyric search. Solo female voice, and guitar, and cello coming in on second verse. Lyrics: Once upon a rose Lived a very little princess Rooming all alone, a'settled on her throne She was the queen of everything she could see And she fell in love with a honey bee Everyday at dawn, when the sun lit up the petals The honeybee would come and find the rose's tongue She'd say hello but he'd ignore her and just go He was so busy he'd miss the kisses she would blow Waiting, waiting, hoping, dreaming That one day he would wake up She's the queen of all the garden But she can't make him fall in love One day she was gone But a first he didn't notice Then slowly he began to feel the coldness of the morn He never knew of all the love she felt for him And so it goes, you never know what might have been Can anyone identify this song? Thanks. |
