Honey
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
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 'til 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 workin' 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 bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
Honey!
Honey!
Honey!
Honey!
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
Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived, and honey played
And love grew up
A small cloud passes overhead
Cries down on the flower bed
That honey loved
And honey, I miss you
And I'm bein' good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could
Honey!
Honey!
Honey!
Honey!
