HONEY



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 runnin' in all exited

Slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed 'til I cried



She was always young at heart

Kind of dumb and kind a smart and I love 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 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 being 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 crying needlessly in the middle of the day

And it was in the early spring

When flowers bloom and Robin sing she went away



And Honey I miss you and I'm being good

And I'd love to be with you if only I could



One day while I was not 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 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 Ilaughed at her and she got mad
