[Verse 1] In the springtime, 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

[Verse 2] The way she loved me, sweet as honey
Made me feel like I could fly
What goes up must come down
She was gone when the Fall came 'round

[Chorus] 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

[Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Tried to keep up with her restless pace
Tried to follow, tried to chase
Some things just aren't meant to be
That summer when I set her free

[Chorus] 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 let her go
'Cause you can't hold a hummingbird
Oh, you can't hold a hummingbird
