Honey

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, I laughed 'til I cried

She was always young at heart

Kind a dumb and kind a smart and I loved her so

I surprised her with a puppy

Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago

And it would sure embarrass her when

I came home from working late 'cause I would know

That she'd been sittin' there cryin'

Over some sad and silly late, late show

And honey, I miss you and I'm being 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 found her crying needlessly in middle of the day

And it was in the early spring

When flowers bloom and Robin's sing, she went away

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good

And I'd love to be with you if only I could

Yes, one day while I wasn't 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

A small cloud passes over head

And cries down in the flower bed that honey loved

See the tree, how big it's grown
