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   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 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      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 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 are memories of honey   And I wake up nights and I call her name      And 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 in the flower bed that honey loved      And honey I miss you and I'm being good   And I'd love to be with you if only I could
