Honey

[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
