Hummingbird

By: Allison2020

Winter got too cold
So Daddy flew away
He found warmth in the sky
On December’s fourth day
Six strings between two hearts
A permanent legacy
He left his hummingbird behind
And it’s still singing

Hummingbird
Sing your song through me
Hummingbird
A melodic memory 
Lives in me

The evenings got too still
So Daddy couldn’t stay
He chased his voice into the wind
On December’s fourth day
A hallowed body lingers
Lost for you are gone
You left your hummingbird behind 
and I will still sing your song

Hummingbird
Sing your song through me
Hummingbird
A melodic memory
Lives in me

I listen to the wind
And find your voice is never gone
Your music is my friend
My purpose is your song

Hummingbird
Singing songs through me
Hummingbird
Forever in your memory

If you’re gone before I wake
Sing your song through me

If you’re gone before I wake 
Sing your song through me 

If you’re gone before I wake 
Sing your song through me

If you’re gone before I wake
Sing your song through me

If you’re gone before I wake
I’ll be the voice you need
Sing your song through me
If you’re gone before I wake
Your wings can carry me
Sing your song through me

If you’re gone before I wake
I’ll be the voice you need
Sing your song through me
If you’re gone before I wake
Your wings can carry me
Sing your song through me

If you’re gone before I wake
Sing your song through me

If you’re gone before I wake
Sing your song through me
