[Verse 1]
C                                                                     Dm7       G7 Dm7 G7
See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
  Dm7                G7              Dm7                G              C
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig
                                                                          Dm7         G7 Dm7 G7
And then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
     Dm7        G7          Dm7                G             C
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself, I laughed till I cried
                                                             Dm7         G7 Dm7 G7
She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
    Dm7             G7           Dm7            G7                C
And I surprised her with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
                                                                         Dm7         G7 Dm7 G7
And it would sure embarrass her when I came home from working late cause I would know
     Dm7                G7     Dm7       G             C
That she'd been there a cryin' over some sad and silly late late show
            Dm7      G7              C                       Dm7      G7          C
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 so afraid that I'd be mad  but what the heck
       Dm7         G7               Dm7               G7                 C
Though I pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
                                                             Dm7              G7 Dm7 G7
I came home unexpectedly caught her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
     Dm7           G7                Dm7               G7          C
Then it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing she went away
            Dm7      G7              C                       Dm7      G7          C       A
And honey I miss you,  and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you,  if only I could

    D                                 D7                              Em7        A7 Em7 A7
Yes one day while I wasn't home while she was there and all alone the angels came
    Em7           A7          Em7         A7                 D
Now all I have is memories of honey and I wake up nights and call her name
    D                                  D7                               Em7         A7 Em7 A7
And now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
  Em7                A7           Em7               A7              D
A small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower bed that honey loved
    D                                   D7                                Em7       A7 Em7 A7
Yes see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
  Em7                A7              Em7                A7             D
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted it was just a twig
            Em7      A7              D                       Em7      A7          D
And honey I miss you,  and I'm being good and I'd love to be with you,  if only I could...
