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
