My Love is Like a Hummingbird

My love is like a hummingbird
So free and full of flight
With wings that beat the humid air
Not stopping day or night

My love is like a hummingbird
It sips the nectar sweet
And tastes the sugar from within
The blooming petals’ heat

Love’s hard to see, it move so fast
It comes and then it goes
You cannot hope to claim it
As every lover knows

So just try to enjoy it
Your gentle night’s repose
The hummingbird keeps flying toward
The blooming of the rose

The hummingbird keeps flying toward
The blooming of the rose

My love is like a violet
With velvet petals true
The constant beating of my heart
Wakes all my dreams anew

Oh where’s my gentle hummingbird
Who sips my nectar sweet
And tastes my sugar from within
My open petals’ heat

Love’s hard to see, it move so fast
It comes and then it goes
You cannot hope to claim it
As every lover knows

So just try to enjoy it
Your gentle night’s repose
The hummingbird keeps flying toward
The blooming of the rose

Oh hummingbird stop flying toward
The blooming of the rose
And love your little violet
Who underneath her grows

Oh love your little violet
In gentle night’s repose
