Jimmy Newman - Honey 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 running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself
And I laughed till 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
It would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late
Cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there and crying over some sad and silly
Late late show

And honey I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad 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 crying needlessly
In the middle of the day
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'd love to be with you if only I could

One day while I was not at home when 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 on the flower bed
That honey loved
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
