Honey Lyrics

(Bobby Russell)

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
And I laughed at him and he got mad
The first day that he planted it it was just a twig.

Then the first snow came and he ran out
To brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited, slipped
And almost hurt himself and I laughed till I cried.

He was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved him so
And I surprised him with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.

And it would sure embarrass me
When he'd come in from working late 'cause he'd always know
If I'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show.

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could.

He wrecked the car and he was sadLynn Anderson - Honey - http://motolyrics.com/lynn-anderson/honey-lyrics.html
And so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck
Though I pretended hard to be
Guess you could say he saw thru me and hugged my neck.

He came home unexpectedly
And caught me crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing he went away.

And honey, I miss you and I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could.

One day while I was not at home
And he was there and all alone the angels came
Now all I have are memories
Of honey and I wake up nights and call his name.

Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed that honey loved.

And see the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
And I laughed at him and he got mad
The first day that he planted it it was just a twig...
