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
And then the first snow came,
and she ran out to brush the snow away, so it wouldn't die
Came run ning in, all excited,
slipped and almost hurt herself, I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart, kind of dumb,
and kind of 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 home from workin' late
As 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
An d 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 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
A small cloud passes overhead and cries down
in the flowerbed that honey loved
And honey, I miss you,
and I'm being good
An d I'd love to be with you,
if only I could
