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
