See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big   And I laughed at him and he got mad   The first day that he planted it it was just a twig   Then the first snow came and he ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die   Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt himself and I laughed till I cried   He was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved him so   And I surprised him with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago   And it would sure embarrass me   When he'd come in from working late cause he'd always know   If I'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   He wrecked the car and he was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck   Though I pretended hard to be   Guess you could say he saw thru me and hugged my neck   He came home unexpectedly and caught me crying needlessly in the middle of the day   And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing he 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 and he was there and all alone the angels came   Now all I have are memories of honey and I wake up nights and call his 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 him and he got mad   The first day that he planted it it was just a twig
