David Houston - Honey Lyrics

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
