Honey Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 

And 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, 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 

And it would sure embarrass her 

When I came home from working late 'cause I would know 

That she'd been there a 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 

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 

Yes, 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 

And 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 

Yes, 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 

And honey, I miss you 

And I'm being good 

And I'd love to be with you 

If only I could
