6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
See the tree, how big it's grown,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
But friend it hasn't been too long,
5 -4 5 -5
It wasn't big.
-5 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
I- laughed at her and she got mad,
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
The first day that she planted it,
-4 4 -4 5
Was just a- twig.
6 5 6 5 -6
Then the first snow came,
6 6 5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And she ran out to brush the snow a-way
5 5 -4 5 -5
So it wouldn't die.
-4 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -4
Came runnin' in all ex-cited,
-5 -4 -5 -4 -6 -5 5
Slipped and al-most hurt herself.
-4 4 4 -4 5
I- laughed till I- cried.
6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
She was always young at heart,
6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
Kinda dumb and kinda smart,
5 5 -4 5 -5
And I loved her so.
-5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
I- surprised her with a- puppy,
-5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Kept me up all Christmas Eve,
-4 4 - 4 5
Two years a-go.
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And it would sure embarrass her,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
When I came in from workin' late,
5 -4 5 -5
'Cause I- would know,
-4 -5 -5 -5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin',
-5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
O--ver some old sad and silly,
4 -4 5
Late, late show.
4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And honey, I miss you,
-3 -3 4 -4 4
And I'm bein' good,
4 4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And I'd love to be with you,
-3 -3 4 -4 4
If on-ly I- could.
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
She wrecked the car and she was sad,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And so afraid that I'd be mad,
5 -4 5 -5
But what the heck.
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Though I pretended hard to be,
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Guess you could say she saw through me,
-4 4 -4 5
And hugged my neck.
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
I came home unexpectedly,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And found her cryin' needlessly,
5 5 -4 -4 5 5 -5
In the middle of the day.
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 -5
And it was in the early Spring,
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
When flowers bloom and robins sing,
-4 4 -4 5
She went away.
4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And honey, I miss you,
-3 -3 4 -4 4
And I'm bein' good,
4 4 4 -4 5 5 -4
And I'd love to be with you,
-3 -3 4 -4 4
If only I could.
6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
One day while I was not at home,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
While she was there and all alone,
5 -4 5 -5
The angels came.
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Now all I have are memories,
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
Of Honey And I wake up nights,
-4 4 -4 5
And call her name.
6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
Now my life's an empty stage,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
Where Honey lived and Honey played,
5 -4 5 -5
And love grew up.
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 -5
A small cloud passes overhead,
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
And cries down on the flower bed,
-4 4 -4 5
That Honey loved.
FADE OUT
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
And see the tree how big it's grown,
5 6 5 6 5 -6 6 6
But friend it hasn't been too long,
5 -4 5 -5
It wasn't big.
-5 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
I laughed at her and she got mad,
-4 -5 -4 -5 -4 6 -5 5
The first day that she planted it,
-4 4 -4 5
Was just a twig.
