"Hummingbird" lyrics

"Hummingbird"

Humming hummingbird, I hear the sound of your wings
They're beating fast, so fast, so fast, they blur
You're making sure you get the nectar that you need
Oh, life is sweet, so sweet and pure

I will sing to you, my little hummingbird, a song
And if you want to sing along, you can sing along
While you flit around checking on things
Every flower, every flower

Once upon a time, you know, your Papa and I
We dreamed about the day you'd fly into our lives
And when we hatched our little hatchling, it was you
We fall in love every time we look into your eyes
We look into your eyes, we look into your eyes

When I'm far away, I picture you, my little hummingbird
All day you play, you play
And then the sun is low, the flowers droop their heads, you know
To your little nest, it's time to go, and so

It's time to sleep
It's time to dream
And when you wake
It will be the day
That I will be home
With you to stay
