|
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, I laughed 'til I 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 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 middle of the day |
|
And it was in the early spring |
|
When flowers bloom and Robin's 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 |
|
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 over head |
|
And cries down in the flower bed that honey loved |
|
See the tree, how big it's grown |
