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   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 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   It was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robbins 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 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   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
