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
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 an' 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
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 the day
And it was in the early spring
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 over head
And cries down on the flower bed
that Honey loved
And see the tree, how big it's grown
it wasn't big
And I laughed at her, she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
