[D] [C] See the tree how big it's grown, but friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big.
[G] I [G] laughed at her and she got mad, the first day that she planted it [Am] was just a twig.
[C] [Am] And then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away [D] so it wouldn't die.
[G] [G] Came running [D] in all excited, [G] slipped and almost hurt herself [Am] and I laughed till I cried.
[C] She was always young at heart and kinda dumb, kinda [Dm] smart and I [G] loved her so.
[D] I surprised her with a puppy, kept me up all Christmas [C] Eve two years ago.
[Am] And it [C] would sure embarrass her when I came home from work and late, [D] cause I would know.
[G] And she'd been sitting there and crying over some sad and [C] silly late, late show.
And honey [D] I miss you, [G] oh and I'm being [C] good.
And I'd love [Dm] to be with you, [F] if only [C] I could.
[Ab]
[Db] Oh she wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd [Ebm] be mad.
But what the heck, though I pretended hard to be, [Ab] guess you could say she saw through [Db] me and hugged my neck.
I came home unexpectedly and found her crying needlessly [Ebm] in the middle of the day.
[Gb] And it was in the early [Ab] spring when flowers bloom and robin [Db] sings, she went away.
[D] One day while I wasn't home, while she was there and all [Em] alone, the angels came.
Now all [G] I have is memories [A] of honey and I wake up nights [D] and I call her name.
Now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey [Em] played.
And love grew up, [G] a small cloud passes [A] overhead and cries down in the flower [D] bed that honey loved.
Oh honey [Em] I miss you, [A]
listen and [D] I'm being good.
[D]
And I'd love to [Em] be with you, oh [A]
if only [D] I could.
Honey, honey, honey [Em] I miss you.
