1. See the tree, how big it’s grown,
Dm - G - Dm - G
but,
friend, it hasn’t been too long, it wasn’t big.
Dm G
I laughed at her and she got
mad,
Dm G C
the
first day that she planted it was just a twig.
2. Then the first snow came and she
Dm - G - Dm - G
ran
out, to brush the snow away so it wouldn’t die.
Dm G
Came runnin’ in all excited,
Dm
G C
slipped
and almost hurt herself, and I laughed till I cried.
3. She was always young at heart,
Dm - G - Dm - G
kind-a
dumb and kind-a smart, and I loved her so.
Dm G
And I surprised her with a
puppy,
Dm G - C
kept
me up all Christmas Eve, two
years ago.
4. And it would sure embarrass her,
Dm - G - Dm - G
when
I came in from working late, ‘cause I would know,
Dm G
that
she’d been sittin’ there and cryin’
Dm G C
over
some sad and silly late late show.
Dm - G - Dm G C
And honey, I miss you,
and I’m being good.
Dm - G – Dm G
C
And I’d love to be with you, if only I could.
5. She wrecked the car and she was sad,
Dm - G - Dm - G
and
so afraid that I’d be mad, so what the heck.
Dm G
Though I pretended hard to be,
Dm G C
guess
you could say she saw through me, and hugged my neck.
6. I came home unexpectedly,
Dm G - Dm - G
and
found her crying needlessly in the middle of the day.
Dm G
And it was in the early spring
Dm
G C
when
flowers bloom aynd robins sing, she went away. + CHORUS
7. One day while I was not at home,
Dm - G - Dm - G
while
she was there and all alone, the angels
came.
Dm G
Now all I have is memories,
Dm G C
of
honey, and I wake up nights and call her name.
8. Now my life’s an empty stage,
-
Dm G - Dm - G
where
honey lived, and honey played, and
love grew up.
Dm G
A small cloud passes overhead,
Dm G C
and
cries down in the flower bed, that honey loved.
