Honey Lyrics - Jack Greene

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 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 home from working 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 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 

Yes, one day while I wasn't home 

While she was there and all alone, the angels came 

Now, all I have are memories of honey 

And I wake up nights and I call her name 

And 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 in the flower bed that honey loved 

And honey I miss you and I'm being good 

And I'd love to be with you if only I could
