See the tree, how big it's grownBut friend it hasn't been too longIt wasn't bigI laughed at her and she got mad,The first day that she planted itWas just a twigThen the first snow came and she ran outTo brush the snow awaySo it wouldn't dieCame runnin' in all excited,Slipped and almost hurt herselfAnd I laughed till I criedShe was always young at heart,Kinda dumb and kinda smartAnd I loved her soAnd I surprised her with a puppyKept me up all Christmas Eve two years agoAnd it would sure embarrass herWhen I came in from workin' late'Cause I would knowThat she'd been sittin' there and cryin'Over some sad and silly late, late showAnd honey, I miss you and I'm bein' goodAnd I'd love to be with you if only I couldShe wrecked the car and she was sadAnd so afraid that I'd be madBut what the heckThough I pretended hard to beGuess you could say she saw through meAnd hugged my neckI came home unexpectedlyAnd caught her cryin' needlesslyIn the middle of a dayAnd it was in the early springWhen flowers bloom and robins singShe went awayAnd honey, I miss you and I'm bein' goodAnd I'd love to be with you if only I couldOne day while I was not at homeWhile she was there and all aloneThe angels cameNow all I have is memories of honeyAnd I wake up nights and call her nameNow my life's an empty stageWhere honey lived and honey playedAnd love grew upAnd a small cloud passes overheadAnd cries down on the flower bedThat honey lovedAnd see the tree how big it's grownBut friend it hasn't been too longIt wasn't bigAnd I laughed at her and she got madThe first day that she planted it,Was just a twig
