(Bobby Russell)      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.      And then the first snow came   And she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die   Came running 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 working late 'cause I would know   That she'd been a crying   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   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   Caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day   Then it was in the early spring   When flowers bloom and robins 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.      Yes, one day while I was not at home   When 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.      And now my life's an empty stage   Where honey lived and honey played and love grew up   A small cloud passes overhead   And cries down on the flower bed that honey loved.      Yes, 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.      And honey, I miss you and I'm being good   And I'd love to be with you if only I could...
