HONEY
Bobby Goldsboro
See the tree how big it's grown,
But friends, it hasn't been to 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 running in all excited,
Slipped and almost hurt herself,
And I laughed til I cried.
She was always young at heart,
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so.
And I surprised her with a puppy,
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.
And it would sure embarrass her
When I came in from workin 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 loved 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 caught her cryin 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 loved to be with you.
If only I could.
One day while I was not at home,
And 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 and empyt stage,
Where Honey lived and Honey played,
And love grew up.
And a small cloud passes overhead,
And cries down on the flower bed,
That Honey loved.
And see the tree how big it's grown.
But friends, 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.
