| See the tree how big it’s grown but friends 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 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
|
| 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 sitting there and 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 and found 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
|
| Yes one day while I wasn’t 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
|
| A small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed
|
| Where honey loved
|
| And honey I miss you and I’m being good
|
| And I’d love to be with you if only I could |
