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, it was just a twig Then 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 'til I cried [Verse 2] 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 home from working late 'cause I would know That she'd been sittin' there and crying over some sad and silly late, late show [Chorus] And honey, I miss you I'm being good I'd love to be with you If only I could [Verse 3] 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 the middle of the day It was in the early spring, when flowers bloom and robins sing, she went away [Chorus] And honey, I miss you And I'm being good I'd love to be with you If only I could [Verse 4] 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 overhead and cries down on the flower bed that Honey loved [Outro] 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 she planted it
