Charlie Louvin - 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 And I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago It would sure embarra** her when I came in from working late cause I would know That she'd been sitting 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 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 It was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robbins 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 when 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
