Leslie Odom Jr. - Hummingbird (Audio)

Listen to 'Hummingbird' from my new album 'Mr' out now: leslieodomjr.f...
Hummingbird Lyrics:
In the garden where I like to grow
There’s this gorgeous girl I’d like to know
The problem is she’s not looking at me
I’m trying to catch her eye before the snow
My pedals might not be the brightest
My fruits might not be the ripest
In the forest not the tallest tree
But taste my nectar- it’s the nicest
Hummingbird
You’re my little hummingbird
Rest your wings on my flower
Hoping with me you’ll land
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
Hummingbird
You’re my little hummingbird
Fly around me for hours
Hoping with me you’ll land
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
Her feathers are the finest
Her touch is just the lightest
In the sky you’ll see her soaring free
To me she’ll always be the fliest
The roses always come with thorns
The orchids wash away with storms
All these flowers that she’s flying to
There will never be enough for you
Hummingbird
You’re my little hummingbird
Rest your wings on my flower
Hoping with me you’ll land
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
Hummingbird
Such a little hummingbird
Flying ‘round me for hours
Hoping with me you’ll land
You don’t need proof
I’m here for you
Always here for you
Hummingbird
You’re my little hummingbird
Rest your wings on my flower
Hoping one day you’ll land
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
Hummingbird
Such a little hummingbird
Flying ‘round me for hours
Hoping one day you’ll land
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
OH
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
OH
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
OH
(You’re my Hummin’ bird)
You’re my Hummingbird

These beautiful songs are NOT getting enough recognition. This album alone has brought out so much emotions in me it's crazy. I'm very receptive to music and I'd have to say there isn't a single song Leslie Odom Jr. Has made that I don't love. His voice, and the music is always so beautiful. Keep making gorgeous music for everyone to enjoy.

2020 sucked until I discovered this man (Hamilton)...this song. ❤❤❤

[@justcallmejojo8907]

This is so damn nice. **I could only explain my hundreds of thoughts through those words.**

[@valerieholland2683]

We we're in Hawaii, when my grand-daughters were watching Hamilton over and over, until they verbatimly, repetitiously, song it all, so after the three years, we are back here now. My husband and I were watching the movie, One Night In Miami, and Sam told Macolm, that he never saw him perform, Sam told him he was there when his mic was unplugged and you song Sam Cooks song acapella "Chain Gang" that did it for me, you are in our daily life now, as is the bible, a lift me up. You are a true artist, a real man with great emotional statements, with meaning that you put in every song, you are the greatest, keep making beautiful music, just what this world of people needs, Amen. You can truly change this world and trigger the weakest into the strongest. God bless you and your family. Thank God for you. Please other young man take mental notes. I never ask a black man to be a follower. I've always look at you all as the leaders, you are that Mr. Odom, so you men get on board.
