Let's build an apiary, we'll fill it with bees and delight
I might not know much but I know what they like -
Flowers and freedom and sunlight
To ponder a new beginning can sometimes give hearts quite a fright
But hearts are like bees and all that they need
Is flowers and freedom and sunlight
You can reach down inside and pull out the bees
And I'll gently tell you that you are their knees
You'll turn to me and say, "I've found the queen,"
When I look in your eyes, I'll know what you mean
We'll spend our days planting gardens
With plants that the bees will adore
With our hands in the dirt and sweat on our shirts
Admiring fungi and fern spores
We'll spend our night tasting honey
The kind you won't find in a hive
It might taste like a laugh or an unexplored path
Our bodies a buzz in the moonlight
You can reach down inside and pull out the bees
And I'll gently tell you that you are their knees
You'll turn to me and say, "I've found the queen,"
When I look in your eyes, I'll know what you mean
Sometimes bad days might come with a stinger and hurt
But I hope we always remember what deep love is worth
You can reach down inside and pull out the bees
And I'll gently tell you that you are their knees
You'll turn to me and say, "I've found the queen,"
When I look in your eyes, I'll know what you mean
Your hand on my cheek, my lips kiss your palm, our hearts all a-swarm
Let's build an apiary, my love so warm
