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.
