Verse 1
Am 
D 
G 
See
the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long,
Am 
D 
Am 
D 
it wasn't big
Am 
D 
I laughed at her when she got mad
Am 
D 
The first day that she planted it,
G 
it was just a twig
Then the first snow came
and she ran out to brush the snow
Am 
D 
Am 
away so it wouldn't die
D 
Am 
D 
Came run ning in all excited,
Am 
D 
slipped and almost hurt herself
G 
and I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart,
kinda dumb and kinda smart
Am 
D 
Am 
D 
and I loved her so
Am 
D 
And I   surprised her with a puppy
Am 
D 
that kept me up all Christmas Eve,
G 
two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her
when I came in from working late,
Am 
D 
Am 
cause I   would know
D 
Am 
That she'd been sittin'
D 
there and cryin'
Am 
D 
G 
Over some sad and silly late -rate show
Am 
And honey, I miss you
D 
Am 
D 
G 
And I'm doin' good
Am 
I'd like to be with you
D 
Am 
D 
G 
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
So afraid that I'd be mad
Am 
But what the heck
D 
Am 
D 
Am 
Though I
D 
pretended hard to be
Am 
Yes, you could say she
D 
saw through me,
G 
hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly,
caught her crying needlessly
Am 
D 
Am 
D 
In the middle of the day
Am 
D 
It was in the early spring
Am 
when flowers bloomed
D 
G 
And Robinson, she went away
Am 
And honey, I miss you,
D 
Am 
D 
G 
an d I  mean good,
Am 
D 
and I'd love to be with you,
Am 
D 
G 
Bm 
E 
if only I could.
A 
One day while I was not at home,
she was there,
Bm 
E 
Bm 
E 
and all alone, the angels came.
Bm 
E 
Bm 
Now all I have is memories of hon ey,
E 
A 
and I wake up nights and call her name.
Now my life's an empty stage,
where honey lived and honey played,
Bm 
E 
Bm 
E 
and love grew up.
Bm 
E 
And a small cloud passes over here,
Bm 
E 
and cries down a flower bed,
A 
that honey loved.
And see the tree,
how big it's grown,
but friend, it hasn't been too long...
