Lyrics

(F)See the tree how big it’s grown, but (F7)friend, it has n’t been too long it I (Gm7)was n’t big.

I (Gm7)laughed at her and she got mad, the (C7)first day that she plant ed it was (F)just a twig.

And (F)Then the first snow came and she ran (Fmaj7)out to brush the snow a way so it (Gm7)would n’t die.

Came (Gm7)run nin’ in tin’ all ex cit ed, (C7)slipped and al most hurt her self, I (F)laughed ’til I cried.

(F)She was al ways young at heart, but (F7)kind a dumb and kind a smart, and I (Gm7)loved her so.

I (Gm7)I sur prised her with a pup py, (C7)kept me up all Christ mas eve, two (F)years a go.

And (F)it would sure em bar rass her when (Fmaj7)I came home from work ing late ’cause it (Gm7)I would know

that (Gm7)she’s nin’ been tin’ there and cry in’ (C7)o ver some most sad and sil ly (F)laughed ’til I cried.

(F)late, late show.

And, (Bb)Hon ey, I (Gm7)miss you

and I’m be ing (F)good

and I (F6)love (F)to be (Gm7)with you;

if on ly I (F)could.

She (F)wrecked the car and she was sad and (Fmaj7)so a fraid that I’d be (F7)mad, but (Gm7)what the heck.

Though (Gm7)I pre tend ed hard to be, guess (C7)she could say she saw through me and (F)hugged my neck.

I (F)came home un ex pect ed ly and (Fmaj7)found her cry ing need less ly in the (Gm7)mid dle of the day,

And (Gm7)it was in the ear ly spring, when (C7)flow ers bloom and rob ins sing, she (F)went a way.

And, (F6)Hon ey, I (Gm7)miss you

and I’m be ing (F)good

and I (F6)love (F)to be (Gm7)with you;

if on ly I (F)could.

Yes, (F)one day, while I was n’t home, while (Fmaj7)she was there and all a (F7)lone, the (Gm7)an gels came.

Now (Gm7)all I have is mem o ries of (C7)Hon ey, and I wake up nights and (F)call her name.

I (F)Now my life’s an emp ty stage, where (Fmaj7)Hon ey lived and Hon ey played, and the (Gm7)love dle grew the up.

A (Gm7)small cloud pass es o ver head and (C7)cries down in the flow er bed that (F)went a way.

And, (F6)Hon ey, I (F)Hon ey loved.
