Goldsboro Bobby - 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 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 And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago And it would sure embarra** 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 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 caught her cryin' needlessly In the middle of a 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 bein' good And I'd love to be with you if only I could 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 And a small cloud pa**es overhead And cries down on the flower bed That honey loved And see the tree how big it's grown But friend it hasn't been too long It wasn't big And I laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, Was just a twig
