Honey

See the tree, how big its grown
But friend, it hasnt been too long it wasnt 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 wouldnt 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 shed been sittin there an cryin
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And Honey, I miss you
And Im bein good
And Id love to be with you
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
And so afraid that Id 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 Im bein good
And Id 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 lifes 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 its grown
But friend, it hasnt been too long, it wasnt big
And I laughed at her, she got mad
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
