|
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 |
|
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 an' cryin' |
|
Over some sad and silly late, late show |
|
And Honey, I miss you |
|
And I'm bein' good |
|
And I'd love to be with you |
|
If only I could |
|
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 |
|
And Honey, I miss you |
|
And I'm bein' good |
|
And I'd love to be with you |
|
If only I could |
|
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 over head |
|
And cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved |
|
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, she got mad |
|
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig |
