Dm G C
[Chorus]
[Verse]
C G
See the tree how big it’s grown but friend it hasn’t been too long, it wasn’t big;
C
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig.
G
And the first snow came and she run out to brush the snow away so it wouldn’t die,
C
Came running in all exited, slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried.
G
She was always young at heart, kind of dumb and kind of smart and I loved her so;
C
And I surprised her with a puppy, kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.
G
And it would sure embarrass her when I came home from working late ‘cause I would know
C
That she’d been sitting there and crying over some sad and silly late night show.
G C G C
And Honey, I miss you, and I’m being blue and I’d love to be with you if only I could.
[Verse 2]
C G
She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I’d be mad, but what the heck;
C
Though I pretended hard to be, guess you could say she saw through me and rubbed my neck.
G
I came home unexpectedly and found her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
C
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robin sing she went away.
G C G C Em A
And Honey, I miss you and I’m being blue and I’d love to be with you if only I could.
[Verse 3]
D A
One day while I was not at home while she was there and all alone the angels came,
D
Now all I have is memories of Honey and I wake up at nights and call her name.
A
Now my life’s an empty stage where Honey lived and Honey played and loved to love
D
And a small cloud passes over head and cries down in the flower bed that Honey loved.
A
And see the tree how big it’s grown but friend it hasn’t been too long it wasn't big
