	Story Behind the Song For some reason I can't explain, seeing a hummingbird is always a delightful surprise. I was playing around with banjo trills, and found one that seemed to suggest the rapid wing-flapping of this tiny bird. I added the lyrics later. Lyrics Hummin’ Bird (c) Joe Kretschmer, 2002 Hummin’ bird, I can barely see. Your little wings…look like a blur to me. How can you move your wings…so rapidly? Hummin’ bird, won’t you stay a while? Seeing you always makes me smile. Makes me remember when I was just a little child. Hummin’ bird, so small but strong I know you don’t even hear this song Lookin’ for flowers, with your bill so thin and long There are times, when I’m feeling blue. Then all of a sudden, you come into view. I can’t help but smiling through and through. To see something so small and beautiful as you. Hummin’ bird, look like a great big bee. I see you now, looking straight at me. I often wonder, just what it is you see.
