In the spring time when the sun shines
There's a memory that's never left
She flew in the middle of June
When the grass was green and the flowers bloomed

The way she loved me sweet as honey
Made me feel like I could fly
But what goes up must come down
She was gone when the fall came 'round

You'll believe her
But she's a leaver
You'll never see her
It's all a blur
With arms wide open
I let her go
'Cause you can't hold
A hummingbird

I tried to keep up with her restless pace
Tried to follow, tried to chase
But some thing's just aren't meant to be
Like a summer wind I set her free

You'll believe her
But she's a leaver
You'll never see her
It's all a blur
With arms wide open
I let her go
'Cause you can't hold
A hummingbird

With arms wide open
I'll let her go
'Cause you can't hold
A hummingbird
Oh, you can't hold
A hummingbird
