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 EXCITED   Slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed 'til I cried      She was always young at heart   Kind of dumb and kind OF 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 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      One day WHEN I was not home   While she was there (REMOVE 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 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 Ilaughed at her and she got mad   The first day that she planted it was just a twig
