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 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 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 a 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
