Hummingbird
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Should be your name
Too restless to settle
Too wild to tame
Too restless to settle
Too wild to tame
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Should be your name
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Winging along
No tender young blossom
Can hold you for long
No tender young blossom
Can hold you for long
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Winging along
You'd hug me and kiss me
Like others I've known
You'd promise to love me
And call me your own
And then all of my dreams
Would be shattered apart
By the hum hum of
Your hummingbird heart
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Feathered so fine
If I clipped your wings
It would not make you mine
If I clipped your wings
It would not make you mine
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Feathered so fine
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Fly right on by
Some folks like to gamble
But, darling, not I
Some folks like to gamble
But, darling, not I
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Fly right on by
I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
Yes, I'd rather spend my
Whole life without you
Then feather a nest
To be shattered apart
By the hum hum of
Your hummingbird heart
By the hum hum of
Your hummingbird heart
Hummingbird heart
Should be your name
Too restless to settle
Too wild to tame
Too restless to settle
Too wild to tame
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Should be your name
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Winging along
No tender young blossom
Can hold you for long
No tender young blossom
Can hold you for long
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Winging along
You'd hug me and kiss me
Like others I've known
You'd promise to love me
And call me your own
And then all of my dreams
Would be shattered apart
By the hum hum of
Your hummingbird heart
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Feathered so fine
If I clipped your wings
It would not make you mine
If I clipped your wings
It would not make you mine
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Feathered so fine
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Fly right on by
Some folks like to gamble
But, darling, not I
Some folks like to gamble
But, darling, not I
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Fly right on by
I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
Yes, I'd rather spend my
Whole life without you
Then feather a nest
To be shattered apart
By the hum hum of
Your hummingbird heart
By the hum hum of
Your hummingbird heart
Hummingbird heart
