Lyrics:

Honey Songtextvon Howard CarpendaleSee 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 cameAnd she ran out to brush the snow away.So it wouldn''t die.Came runnin'' in all excited,Slipped and almost hurt herself.I laughed till I cried.She was always young at heart,Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so.I surprised her with a puppy,Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.And it would sure embarrass herWhen I came home from workin'' late''cause I would knowThat she''d been sittin'' there and cryin''Over some sad and silly late, late show.[Refrain]And honey, I miss you but I''m bein'' good.And I''d love to be with you if only I could.She wrecked the car and she was sadAnd so afraid that I''d be mad but what the heck.Though I pretended hard to be,Guess you could say she saw through meAnd hugged my neck.I came home unexpectedlyAnd found her cryin'' needlessly in the middle of a day.And it was in the early springWhen flowers bloom and robins sing, she went away.[Refrain]Yes, one day while I was not at homeShe was there and all alone the angels came.Now all I have is memories of honeyAnd I wake up nights and call her name.Now my life''s an empty stageWhere honey lived and honey played and love grew up.And a small cloud passes overheadAnd cries down on the flower bed that honey loved.[Refrain]
