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 twigThen 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 criedShe 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 agoAnd it would sure embarrass 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 showAnd Honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I couldShe 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 neckI came home unexpectedly
And caught her cryin' needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing she went awayAnd Honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I couldOne 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 nameNow my life's an empty stage
Where Honey lived and Honey played and love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed that Honey lovedAnd see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
And I laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
