Honey

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 [Verse 2] 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 'til I cried [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 7] 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 [Verse 8] 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 1] 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
