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 'til 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 embarass 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
Chorus: 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 cryin' needlesly In the middle of the day And it was in the early Spring When flowers bloom and Robins sing She went away
Chorus
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 over head 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
