Eddy Arnold Honey Lyrics

Honey Lyrics

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 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 home from working late 'cause I would know

That she'd been there a crying

Over some sad and silly late, late 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

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

Found her crying needlessly in the middle of the 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 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



And 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



Yes, 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 honey, I miss you

And I'm being good

And I'd love to be with you

If only I could
