Honey Lyrics - Charlie Louvin

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 sitting 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 caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day 

It was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robbins 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 when 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 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 

And I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig
