Lyrics - Honey by Russell Bobby

HONEYSee 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 ranout to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die.
Came runnin' in all excited,slipped and almost hurt herself,
I laughed 'til
I cried.
She was always young at heart,kind a dumb and kind a 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 home from working late 'cause
I would knowthat she'd been sittin' there cryinover 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 sadand 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 unexpectedlyand found her crying needlessly in middle of the day.
And it was in the early springwhen 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 wasn't home,while she was there and all alone, the angels came.
Now all
I have is memoriesof
Honey, and
I wake up nights and call her name.
Now my life's an empty stagewhere
Honey lived and
Honey played and love grew up.
A small cluod passes over headand cries down in the flower bed that
Honey loved.
See the tree, how big it's grown...(fading) -
