Honey (2021 Remaster)

[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]
And 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 '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 being 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
And now all I have is memories of honey
And I wake at nights
And call her name

[Verse 8]
And now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played
And love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
Cries down in the flower bed
That honey loved

[Verse 9]
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
