Honey (I Miss You)

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

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
I laughed 'til 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

And it would sure embarrass her
When I came home from working late, 'cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' therе and cryin'
Over some sad and silly Late, Latе Show

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you, if only I could

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 a day
And it was in the early Spring, when flowers bloom
And Robins sing, she went away

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you, if only I could

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 in the flower bed that Honey loved

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you, if only I could
