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 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 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
|
