Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sometimes, I get impatient

But she cools me without words

And she calms so sweet and softly

My hummingbird and have you heard?

[Verse 2]

That I thought my life had meaning

But I find that it's just begun

'Cause she gets me where I live

I'll give her all I have to give

I'm talkin' about that hummingbird

[Verse 3]

Oh, she's little and she loves me too much for words to say

When I see her in the morning sleepin'

She's little and she loves me too, my lucky day

Hummingbird, don't fly away

[Verse 4]

When I'm feeling wild and lonesome

She knows the words to say

And she gives me a little understanding

In her special way, and I just have to say

[Verse 5]

In my life, I love no other because she's more than I deserve

And she gets me where I live

I'll give her all I have to give

I'm talkin' about that hummingbird

[Verse 6]

Oh, she's little and she loves me too much for words to say

When I see her in the morning sleepin'

She's little and she loves me too, my lucky day

Hummingbird, don't fly away

[Verse 7]

Don't fly away

Away

Don't fly away

Away

[Verse 8]

Don't fly away

Away

Don't fly away

Away

[Verse 9]

Don't fly away

Away

Don't fly away

Away

[Verse 10]

Don't fly away

Away
