[F]See the tree how big it’s grown, but friend, it hasn’t been too long[Gm7] it
wasn’t big.
I laughed at her and she got mad[C7], the first day that she planted it was[F]
just a twig.
Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it[Gm7]
wouldn’t die.
[C7]Came run[Gm7]nin’ in all excited, s[C7]lipped and almost hurt herself, [F]I laughed
‘till I cried.
She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda 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 work late ‘cause I
would know.
That she’s been sittin there and cryin’ over some sad and silly late late
show.
(REFRAIN)
[Bb]And Honey, I mis[Gm7]s you an[C7]d I’m, being g[F]ood.
And I love to be[Gm7] with yo[C7]u, if only I cou[F]ld.
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 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.
REPEAT REFRAIN
Yes, one day while I wasn’t home, 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 overhead and cries down in the flowerbed that Honey
loved.
