Dm7 G7 C Dm7 [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 [Verse 2]
C Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7 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 [Verse 3]
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...
