Lyrics

[Verse 1]

See the tree, how big it's grown

But, friend, it hasn't been too long

It wasn't big

I laughed at her, and she got mad

The first day that she planted it

Was just a twig

Then the first snow came and she ran out

To brush the snow away

So it wouldn't die

Came runnin' in, all excited

Slipped and almost hurt herself

And I laughed till I cried

[Verse 2]

She was always young at heart

Kinda dumb and kinda smart

And I loved her so

And I surprised her with a puppy

Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago

And it would sure embarrass her

When I came in from workin' late

'Cause I would know

That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'

Over some sad and silly late, late show

[Chorus]

And Honey, I miss you

And I'm bein' good

And I'd love to be with you

If only I could

[Verse 3]

She wrecked the car and she was sad

And so afraid that I'd be mad

But what the heck

Though I pretended hard to be

Guess you could say she saw through me

And hugged my neck

I came home unexpectedly

And caught her cryin' needlessly

In the middle of the day

And it was in the early spring

When flowers bloom and robins sing

She went away

[Chorus]

And Honey, I miss you

And I'm bein' good

And I'd love to be with you

If only I could

[Verse 4]

One day while I was not at home

While she was there and all alone

The angels came

Now all I have is memories of Honey

And I wake up nights and call her name

Now my life's an empty stage

Where Honey lived and Honey played

And love grew up

And a small cloud passes overhead

And cries down on the flower bed

That Honey loved

[Verse 5]

And see the tree, how big it's grown

But friend, it hasn't been too long

It wasn't big

And I laughed at her, and she got mad

The first day that she planted it

Was just a twig
