Honey |
|
-Bobby Goldsboro |
|
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. |
|
The 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 cried. |
|
She was always young at heart |
|
Kind a dumb and kind a 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 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. |
|
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 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 |
|
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 over head |
|
And cries down in the flower bed |
|
That Honey loved. |
|
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... |
