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 run ning in, all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
An d I loved her so
I surprised her with a puppy,
kept me up all Christmas Eve,
two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
when I came home 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 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
Guessed you could say
she saw through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly
and found 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,
an d 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 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
An d love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
and cries down on the flower
bed that honey loves
And honey, I miss you,
and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you,
if only I could.
You
