Honey

Honey, I miss you

Honey, I love you

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

It was just a twig

And then the first snow came

And she ran out to brush the snow away

So it wouldn't die

She came running in all excited

She 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

I surprised her with a puppy

It kept me up all Christmas eve

Two years ago

And it would sure embarrass her

When I came home from working late

Because I would know

That she'd been sitting there and crying

Over some sad and silly late, late, late, late show

Oh 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

So afraid that I'd be mad, Lord

But what the heck (It's only a car)

Though I pretended hard to be

Don't you know, honey saw through me

And hugged my neck

I came home unexpectedly

And found honey crying needlessly

In the middle of the day

And it was in the early spring

When flowers bloom and robins sing

That's when she went away

One day while I wasn't at home

And she was there and all alone

The angels came

Now all I have left is memories of honey

And I wake up nights lying and I call her name

Now my life's an empty stage

Where honey lived and honey played

Yes, and love grew up

A small cloud passes overhead

And cries down in the flower bed

That honey loved

Oh honey, I miss you

And I'm being good

And I'd love to be with you

If only I could

Oh how I miss you

And don't you know that I'm being good

And I'd love to be with you

If only I could

Oh, I miss you

And don't you know that I'm being good

And I'd love to be with you...
