First Verse
See the tree how big it's grown, but friend, 
it has-n't been too long, it was-n't big.
I laughed at her and she got mad, 
the first day that she plant-ed it was just a twig.

Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the 
snow a-way so it would - n't die. 
Came run-nin' in   all ex-cit - ed, slipped and 
al - most hurt her-self, I laughed 'til I cried.___

[Chorus] 
Yes, she was al-ways young at heart, 
kind -a dumb and kind -a smart and I loved her so.
I sur-prised her with a pup-py; 
kept me up all Christ-mas eve two years a-go. 

And it would sure em-bar-ass her when I came home 
from work-ing late 'cause I would know
That she'd been sit-tin' there and cry-in 
o-ver some sad and sil-ly late, late show. 

And Hon-ey, I miss you, and I'm be-ing good.___
And I'd love  to  be  with  you  
if   on-ly   I    could. 

Second Verse
She wrecked the car and she was sad and 
so a - fraid that I'd be mad, but what the heck, 
Tho' I pre-tend-ed to be, guess you could say 
she saw through me and hugged my neck. 

I came home un - ex - pect - ed - ly and found 
her cry - ing need-less-ly in the mid-dle of the day.
And it was in the ear-ly Spring when flow-ers bloom
and rob-ins sing she went   a  - way.____

Yes,  one day while I  was - n't home while she 
was there and all a - lone the  an-gels came. 
Now all I have is mem-o-ries of Hon-ey, and 
I wake up nights and call her name.  

And now my life's an emp - ty stage where Hon-ey lived 
and Hon-ey played and love grew up. 
A small cloud pass-es o - ver - head and 
cries down in the flow-er bed that Hon-ey loved. 

And Hon-ey, I miss you, and I'm be-ing good.___
And I'd love  to  be  with  you  
if   on-ly   I    could.
