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 runnin' 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
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

And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' 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 caught her cryin' 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 bein' good
And I'd love to be with
you if only I could

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 on the flower bed
That Honey loved

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
The first day that she planted it, was just a
twig
