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 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 [Chorus] Honey, I miss you And I'm being good And I'd love to be with you If only I could [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] And Honey, I miss you And I'm being good And I'd love to be with you If only I could [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] And friends it hasn't been too long It wasn't big
