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 the first snow came and she run out to brush the snow away so it wouldn’t die,
Came running in all exited, slipped and almost hurt herself and 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 working late ‘cause I would know
That she’d been sitting there and crying over some sad and silly late night show.
And Honey, I miss you, and I’m being blue 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 rubbed 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 robin sing she went away.
And Honey, I miss you and I’m being blue 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 at nights and call her name.
Now my life’s an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played and loved to love
And a small cloudcloud passes over head and cries down in the flower bed that Honey loved.
And see the tree how big it’s grown but friend it hasn’t been too long…..
