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, 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
