Dean Martin - Honey lyrics

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend that 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

And the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away it wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped
And almost hurt herself I
Laughed till I cried

She was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart, I loved her so
I surprised her with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
It would sure embarrass her

When I came in from working
Late 'cause I would know
That she'd been sittin' there
And crying over some sad and silly late
Late show

And honey, I miss you I'm being good
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
Caught her crying needlessly in the
Middle of the day 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
I'd love to be with you if only I could

Yes, one day while I wasn't at 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

Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played
And love grew up
A small cloud passes overhead
And cries down on the flower
Bed that honey loved

See the tree how big it's grown
But friend it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big laughed at her and she got mad
The first day that she planted
It was just a twig
