She had a bright-eyed smile
That lit him up
One glance across the cafeteria
Flinging fruit of the vine
Got her attention
Gentleman start your engines
He had a beat up Ford
Loved to race that old car
Making left turns on that old dirt track
Didn't get too far
Flipped it over one day aaw
And nearly killed himself
She said honey if I'm gonna be your fan
You better put it on the shelf
Cause' I'm your hummingbird
Let me hover for a while
You're my rocket man
You always make me smile
Got some real big dreams
Nothing gonna' stop us now
I can be your wings aaw
We're laughing at life out loud
Summer of '53 was the dreadful time
Limped on home from a day
Of working on that line
Never would he walk aaw
Straight on up again
Polio laid him flat
In that old dark tin can
She never left his side
That entire summer
Rode the bus across town
Just to sit and hear that tube a hummin'
Ya gotta fight this thing
And pull on through
Wish I could get
Stuck in that can with you
And she said
I'm your hummingbird
Let me hover for a while
You're my rocket man
You always make me smile
I got some real big dreams
Nothing gonna' stop us now
I can be your wings aaw
We're laughing at life out loud
Built a home a family
Four kids and a cat
Made it big
Drove a lot a Cadillacs all yeah
They turned that pain into sunshine
Into a room with a view
Took a picture on the dark side of the moon
Cause' she said
I'm your hummingbird
Let me hover for a while
You're my rocket man
