Honey Lyrics - Roger Miller

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 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, I loved her so 

And I surprised her with a puppy 

Kept me up all Christmas night two years ago 

And it would sure embarrass her 

When I came in from working late 'cause I would know 

That she'd been sittin' there 

And cryin' 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 when I wasn't home when 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 

Yes, 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 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
