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 running 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

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 working late
Cause I would know

That she'd been
Sitting 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 caught her crying needlessly
In the middle of a 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

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

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
