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.
And then the first snow came and she ran out to brush
the snow away so it wouldn't die
She came running in, all excited,
slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed until I cried
Oh, she was always young and hot,
kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy,
And it would sure embarrass her when I came home from work and late,
That she'd been sitting there and crying
over some sad and silly late, late show
And I'd love to be with you,
Well, she wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad,
Though I pretended hard to be,
guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and found her crying
needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers
bloom and robins sing she went away
And I'd love to be with you,
One day while I was not at home,
while she was there and all alone
Now all I have is memories of honey and I
A break of night, some chardonnay
And now my life's an empty state
Where honey lived and honey played
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down in the flowerbed
Oh, yeah, she's a tree, how big it's grown, but friend,
it hasn't been too long, it wasn't me.
and she got mad the first day that she planted it.
