See the tree how big it's grown

But friends 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

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 sitting there and crying

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 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.



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

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 friends 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...
