See the tree, how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long
The first day that she planted it,
Then the first snow came and she ran out
Came run ning in, all excited
Slipped and almost hurt herself
She was always young at heart,
kind of dumb and kind of smart, and I loved her so
I surprised her with a puppy,
And it would sure embarrass her when
I came home from workin' late
that she'd been sittin' there and cryin'
Over some sad and silly late, late show
And I'd love to be with you,
She wrecked the car and she was sad
and so afraid that I'd be mad
Though I pretended hard to be a guest
You could say she saw through
I came home unexpectedly and
found her crying needlessly
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing
And I'm being good, and I'd love to be with you,
Yes, one day while I was gone,
And I wake up nights and call her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played
And a small cloud dances over me,
cries down in the family bed, that we loved.
And honey I miss you, but I'm being good,
and I'd love to be with you.
