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 running in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb, but 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 working late
Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin there and crying
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 while I was not at home while she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have are 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
Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came running in
