Vikki Carr - Honey

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
