SEE THE TREE

HOW BIG IT'S GROWN

BUT FRIEND

IT HASN'T BEEN TOO LONG

IT WASN'T BIG

I LAUGHED AT HER

AND SHE GOT MAD

THE FIRST DAY

THAT SHE PLANTED IT

WAS JUST A TWIG

THEN THE FIRST SNOW

CAME

AND SHE RAN OUT

TO BRUSH

THE SNOW AWAY

SO IT WOULDN'T DIE

CAME RUNNIN' IN

ALL EXCITED

SLIPPED AND ALMOST

HURT HERSELF

AND I LAUGHED

'TIL I CRIED

SHE WAS ALWAYS

YOUNG AT HEART

KINDA DUMB

AND KINDA SMART

AND I LOVED HER SO

AND I SURPRISED HER

WITH A PUPPY

KEPT ME UP

ALL CHRISTMAS EVE

TWO YEARS AGO

AND IT WOULD SURE

EMBARRASS HER

WHEN I CAME IN FROM

WORKIN' LATE

'CAUSE I WOULD KNOW

THAT SHE'D BEEN

SITTIN' THERE

AND CRYIN'

OVER SOME SAD

AND SILLY

LATE LATE SHOW

AND HONEY

I MISS YOU

AND I'M BEIN' GOOD

AND I'D LOVE

TO BE WITH YOU

IF ONLY I COULD

SHE WRECKED THE CAR

AND SHE WAS SAD

AND SO AFRAID

THAT I'D BE MAD

BUT WHAT THE HECK

THOUGH I PRETENDED

HARD TO BE

GUESS YOU COULD SAY

SHE SAW THROUGH ME

AND HUGGED MY NECK

I CAME HOME

UNEXPECTEDLY

AND CAUGHT HER CRYIN'

NEEDLESSLY

IN THE MIDDLE

OF THE DAY

AND IT WAS IN

THE EARLY SPRING

WHEN FLOWERS BLOOM

AND ROBINS SING

SHE WENT AWAY

AND HONEY

I MISS YOU

AND I'M BEIN' GOOD

AND I'D LOVE

TO BE WITH YOU

IF ONLY I COULD

ONE DAY

WHILE I WAS

NOT AT HOME

WHILE SHE WAS THERE

AND ALL ALONE

THE ANGELS CAME

NOW ALL I HAVE

IS MEMORIES OF HONEY

AND I WAKE UP NIGHTS

AND CALL HER 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 HER

AND SHE GOT MAD

THE FIRST DAY

THAT SHE PLANTED IT

WAS JUST A TWIG
