See the tree how big it's grown
But it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad
The first day that I planted it was just a twigThen the first snow came and I ran out
To brush the snow away, so it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited slipped
And almost hurt myself and you laughed till you criedYes, you were always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved you so
You surprised me with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years agoAnd you could sure embarrass me
When you came home from working late
'Cause you would know that I'd been all alone
And cryin' over some sad and lonely late, late showAnd honey, I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I couldI wrecked the car and I was sad
And so afraid that you'd be mad but what the heck
All afternoon you stormed around
But I knew how to cool you down, I hugged your neckYou came home unexpectedly and caught me crying
Needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing, I went awayAnd honey, I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I couldOne day you were not at home while I was there
And all alone the angels came
Guess you thought it strange of me to leave the way I did
That day it was a shameBut now your life has just begun
And even though you miss me, hon', you must go on
And when the snow fly passes overhead
And lies down on the flower bed, you know you're not aloneSee the tree how big it's grown
But it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad
The first day that I planted it was just a twig
