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 and 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 in from working late cause I would know
That she'd been 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 caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
Then 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 when 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
