Lyrics
Honey
Verse 1:
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.
Verse 2:
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
And it would sure embarrass her,
When I came in from workin' late 'cause I would know,
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin',
Over some sad and silly late, late show.
Chorus:
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good,
And I'd love to be with you if only I could.
Key Change
Verse 3:
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 caught her cryin' needlessly,
In the middle of a day,
And it was in the early Spring when flowers bloom and robins sing, She went away.
Chorus:
And honey, I miss you and I'm bein' good,
And I'd love to be with you if only I could.
Verse 4:
One day while 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.
Verse 5:
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 her and she got mad,
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig.
