Honey Lyrics - David Houston

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 

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 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 

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 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 

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 

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 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 where 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
