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 up
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
Kind of dumb
and kind of 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 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
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
when flowers bloom
and robins sing
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 overhead
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
And I laughed at her
and she got mad
The first day that she
planted it was just a twig
