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 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 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

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 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
