See the tree, how big it's grown
But then it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad
The first day that I planted it
It was just a twig
Then the first snow came
And I ran out to brush the snow away
So it wouldn't die
Came running in, all excited
Slipped and almost hurt myself
And you laughed till you cried
Yes, you were always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
And I loved you so
You surprised me with a puppy
Kept us up all Christmas Eve
Two years ago
And it would sure embarrass me
When you'd come in from workin' late
'Cause you would know
That I'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly
Late, late show
And, honey, I miss you
And I know you're bein' good
And I'd loved to be with you
If only I could
I wrecked the car and I was sad
And so afraid that you'd be mad
But what the heck
All afternoon you stormed around
But I knew how to cool you down:
I hugged your neck
You came home unexpectedly
And caught me cryin' needlessly
In the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
I went away
And, honey, I miss you
And I know you're bein' good
And I'd loved to be with you
If only I could
One day, when you were not at home
And I was there and so alone
The angels came
Guess you thought it stranged me
Till you knew where I did that day
It was a shame
But now your life has just begun
And even though you miss me, hun
You must go on
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed
You know, you're not alone
