See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't bigI laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twigAnd then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't dieCame running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I criedShe was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her soI surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years agoAnd it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late cause I would knowThat she'd been sittin' there and cryin' over some sad and silly late late showAnd honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I couldShe wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be mad but what the heckThough I pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neckI came home unexpectedly and found her crying in the middle of the dayAnd it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing she went awayAnd honey I miss you and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you if only I couldOne day while I was at home while she was there and all alone the angels cameNow all I have is memories of honey and I wake up nights and call her nameNow my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey played and love grew upA small cloud passes overhead and cries down in the flower bed that honey lovedSee the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big Aus Songtexte Mania
