See the tree how big it's grown but that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big

You laughed at me and I got mad the first day that I planted it was just a twig

Then the first snow came and I ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die

Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt myself and you laughed till you cried

Yes you were always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved you so

You surprised me with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago

And you could sure embarrass me when you came home from working late

Cause you would know

That I'd been all alone and cryin' over some sad and lonely late late show

And honey I miss you too and I know you're being good

And I'd love to be with you if only I could

I wrecked the car and I was sad and so afraid that you'd be mad but what the heck

All afternoon you stormed around but I knew how to cool you down I hugged your neck

You came home unexpectedly and caught me crying needlessly in the middle of the day

And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing I went away

And honey I miss you too and I know you're being good

And I'd love to be with you if only I could

One day you were not at home while I was there and all alone the angels came

Guess you thought it strange of me to live the way I did that day it was a shame

But now your laughter just began and even though you miss me hon you must go on

And when the snow fly passes overhead and cries down on my flower bed

You know you're not alone

See the tree how big it's grown but that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big

You laughed at me and I got mad the first day that I planted it was just a twig
