Honey (I Miss You)

(album: Young Girl - 1968)

See the tree, how big it's grown, but friend 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, but kinda smart
And I loved her so
And I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve
Two years ago

And it would sure embarrass her when I came in 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 was not at home while she was there and all alone
The angels came
Now all I have are 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 over head and cries down on the flower bed
That Honey loved

And see the tree, how big it's grown
But friend 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
