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 running 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
It would sure embarrass her
When I came in from working late
'Cause she would know
That she'd been sitting there and crying
Over some sad and silly late late show

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
So afraid that I'd be mad
But then, what the heck?
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you'd 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 bloomed and robins 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

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 the flower bed
That Honey loved
And see the tree, how big it's grown

And friends it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
