[00:09.82]
[00:10.87]See the tree how big it's grown
[00:13.48]But friend it hasn't been too long
[00:15.99]It wasn't big.
[00:21.04]I laughed at her and she got mad
[00:23.70]The first day that she planted it
[00:26.09]Was just a twig.
[00:31.56]The the first snow came
[00:33.86]And she ran out to brush the snow away
[00:36.40]So it wouldn't die.
[00:41.78]Came runnin' in all excited
[00:44.46]Slipped and almost hurt herself
[00:46.98]I laughed till cried.
[00:50.49]
[00:51.57]She was always young at heart
[00:54.60]Kind a dumb and kind a smart
[00:57.33]And I loved her so.
[01:02.05]I surprised her with a puppy
[01:05.03]Kept me up all christmas eve
[01:07.77]Two years ago.
[01:10.58]
[01:12.24]And it would sure embarrass her
[01:14.78]When I came home from working late
[01:17.79]'Cause I would know
[01:22.50]That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'.
[01:25.97]Over some sad and silly late late show:
[01:29.58]
[01:31.46]And Honey I miss you
[01:36.57]And I'm being good
[01:41.75]And I'd love to be with you
[01:46.85]If only I could.
[01:50.12]
[01:53.31]She wrecked the car and she was sad
[01:56.18]And so afraid that I'd be mad
[01:59.07]But what the heck.
[02:03.61]Though I pretended hard to be
[02:06.44]Guess you could say she saw through me
[02:09.33]And hugged my neck.
[02:13.88]I came home unexpectedly
[02:16.43]And found her crying needlessly
[02:19.59]In the middle of the day
[02:24.08]And it was in the early spring
[02:27.07]When flowers bloom and robins sing
[02:29.70]She went away.
[02:31.61]
[02:33.26]And Honey I miss you
[02:38.24]And I'm being good
[02:43.29]And I'd love to be with you
[02:48.52]If only I could
[02:51.83]
[02:55.09]One day while I wasn't home
[02:57.66]While she was there and all alone
[03:00.62]The angels came.
[03:05.26]Now all I have is memories
[03:08.11]Of Honey and I wake up nights
[03:11.00]And call her name.
[03:15.85]Now my life's an empty stage
[03:18.22]Where Honey lived and Honey played
[03:21.11]And love grew up.
[03:25.53]A small cloud passes over head
[03:28.22]And cries down in the flower bed
[03:31.13]That Honey loved.
[03:33.43]
[03:35.86]See the tree how big it's grown
[03:38.39]But friend it hasn't been too long
[03:41.26]It wasn't big.
[03:45.68]I laughed at her and she got mad
[03:48.56]The first day that she planted it
[03:50.98]Was just a twig...
