Honey

• F

F                         Dm7 
See the tree, how big it's grown,  
Fmaj7	            Dm7	   Gm	  C7  Gm  C7  
but friend, it hasn't been too long it wasn't big.  
Gm                         C7 
I laughed at her and she got mad,  
      Gm		C7	    F             Dm7  Fmaj7  Dm7 
the first day that she planted it was just a twig.  
  
F                           Dm7 
Then the first snow came and she ran  
Fmaj7	        Dm7                  Gm           C7  Gm  C7 
out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die.  
Gm                   C7 
Came runnin' in all excited,  
Gm	            C7               F                 Dm7  Fmaj7  Dm7 
slipped and almost hurt herself, I laughed 'til I cried.  
  
F                       Dm7 
She was always young at heart,  
Fmaj7	          Dm7                   Gm            C7  Gm  C7 
kind a dumb and kind a smart and I loved her so.  
Gm                 C7 
I surprised her with a puppy,  
Gm	      C7                        F            Dm7  Fmaj7  Dm7 
kept me up all Christmas eve two years ago.  
  
F                            Dm7 
And it would sure embarrass her when  
Fmaj7                   Dm7                    Gm              C7  Gm  C7 
I came home from working late 'cause I would know  
Gm                          C7 
that she'd been sittin' there cryin  
Gm	C7	   F             Dm7   
over some sad and silly late, late show.  
  
Fmaj7  Dm7   Gm   C7   Gm  C7       F     Dm7   
And Honey, I miss you and I'm being good.  
Fmaj7  Dm7      Gm  C7  Gm  C7  F     Dm7  Fmaj7  Dm7 
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 found her crying needlessly in 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.  
  
Yes, one day while I wasn't home,  
while 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 cluod passes over head  
and cries down in the flower bed that Honey loved.  
See the tree, how big it's grown...(fading)
