Lyrics Honey - Daniel O'Donnell

(Bobby Russell)

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
And 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 caught 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.

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
And a small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower bed that honey loved.

And 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...
