Honey Songtext
von John D. Loudermilk

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
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 cryin′ 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 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 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
A small cloud passes overhead and cries down in the
Flower bed that honey loved
See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't
Been too long it wasn′t big
