Honey - Roger Miller

作词：Bobby Russell

作曲：Bobby Russell

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 shed 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
