Honey

See the tree how big it's grown

But friend that 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.

And the first snow came and she ran out

To brush the snow away it wouldn't die

Came running in all excited slipped

And almost hurt herself I laughed till I cried.

She was always young at heart

Kinda dumb and kinda smart, I loved her so

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 I would know

That she'd been sittin' there

And crying over some sad and silly late, late show.

And honey, I miss you I'm being good

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

Caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day

It was in the early spring

When flowers bloom and robins sing, she went away.

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

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

Yes, one day while I wasn't at home

When 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 overhead

And cries down on the flower bed that honey loved.

See the tree how big it's grown

But friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big

Laughed at her and she got mad

The first day that she planted it was just a twig...
