See the tree, how big it´s grown, but friend, then 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, 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 sittin´ there and cryin´ over some sad and silly late, late show
And honey, I miss you and I´m bein´ 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 found 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 bein´ good
And I´d love to be with you, if only I could
Yes, 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
A small cloud passes overhead 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, it wasn´t big
I laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted it was just a twig ...
