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 'til 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 embarass her when
I came home from working late 'cos
I would know that
She'd been sittin' 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?
Tho' I pretended hard to be,
Guess you could say she saw thru me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and caught her cryin'
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
(Key change - up tone)
One day while I was not at home, while
She was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have are memories of honey
And I wake up nights and call her name
And now my life's an empty stage,
Where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
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
I laughed at her and she got mad,
The first day that she planted it was just a twig
