Bobby Goldsboro Honey song lyrics

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

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,

2 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 bein' 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 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 bein' good...

And I'd love to be with you...

If only I could...

One day while I was not at 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...

and a small cloud passes over head,

And cries down on the flower bed that,

Honey loved
