Honey - Daniel O'Donnell

See the tree how big it’s grown but friends 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 running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself

And I laughed till I cried

She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart

And I loved her so

I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve

Two years ago

And it would sure embarrass her when I came home from working late

Cause I would know

That she’d been sitting there and crying

Over some sad and silly late late show

And honey I miss you and I’m being good

And I’d love to be with you if only I could

She wrecked the car and she was sad 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 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 honey I miss you and I’m being good

And I’d love to be with you if only I could

Yes one day while I wasn’t 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

A small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed

Where honey loved

And honey I miss you and I’m being good

And I’d love to be with you if only I could
