Roger Miller 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
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 I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all christmas night two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working 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 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 caught 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



One day when I wasn’t home when 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
Yes 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
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a
twig
