Verse 1
G 
See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long,
Am 
D 
Am 
it  wasn't big
D 
Am 
D 
I laughed at her and she got mad
Am 
D 
The first day that she planted
G 
it was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out,
brushed the snow away,
Am 
D 
Am 
so it wouldn't die.
D 
Am 
D 
Came run ning in, all excited,
Am 
D 
slipped and almost hurt herself,
G 
I  laughed till I cried.
She was always young at heart,
kind of dumb and kind of 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
G 
Eve two years ago.
And it would sure embarrass her
when I came home from working late
Am 
D 
Am 
C 
D 
Cause I would know that
Am 
D 
she'd be sittin' there and cryin'
C 
D 
G 
Over some sad and silly late, late show
Am 
And honey, I miss   you
D 
G 
And I'm being good,
Am 
I long to be with you,
D 
G 
if only I could.
She wrecked the car and she was sad,
so afraid that I'd be mad,
Am 
D 
Am 
C 
D 
but what the heck.
Am 
D 
Though I pretended hard to be,
Am 
D 
you could say she saw through me
G 
and hugged my neck.
I came home unexpectedly,
caught her crying needlessly
Am 
D 
Am 
C 
in the middle of the day.
D 
Am 
D 
And it  was in the early spring,
C 
D 
when flowers bloom and robins sing,
G 
she went away.
Am 
And honey, I miss you,
D 
G 
and I'm being good.
Am 
I'd love to be with you,
D 
G 
Bm 
if only I could.
E 
A 
One day while I was not at home,
while she was there and all alone,
Bm 
E 
Bm 
E 
the angels came.
Bm 
E 
Bm 
Now all I have is memories of honey.
E 
A 
F#m 
I wake up nights and call her name.
A 
Now my life's an empty stage
where honey lived and honey played.
Bm 
E 
Bm 
and   love grew up
E 
Bm 
E 
and a small cloud passes overhead
Bm 
E 
cries right down on the flowerbed
A 
that honey love and honey
Bm 
E 
A 
I miss you and I'm being good
Bm 
I long to be with you
E 
A 
If only I could
