12.Honey
Composer:Robert Russell
See The Tree, How Big It's Grown.
But Friend It Hasn't Been Too Long.
It Wasn't Big.
He Laughed At Me And I Got Mad.
The First Day That I Planted It, Was Just A Twig.
Then The First Snow Came
And I Ran Out To Brush The Snow Away,
So It Wouldn't Die.
Came Runnin' In All Excited,
Slipped And Almost Hurt Myself.
He Laughed Till He Cried.
I Was Always Young At Heart,
Kinda Dumb And Kinda Smart And He Loved Me So.
And He Surprised Me With A Puppy,
Kept Him Up All Christmas Eve Two Years Ago.
And It Would Sure Embarrass Me
When He Came Home From Workin' Late
'Cause He Would Know.
And I'd Been Sittin' There And Cryin'
Over Some Sad And Silly Late, Late Show.
And Honey, I Miss You,
And I'm Bein' Good.
And I'd Love To Be With You,
If Only I Could.
I Wrecked The Car And I Was Sad,
And So Afraid That He'd Be Mad.
But What The Heck!
Though He Pretended Hard To Be,
Guess You Could Say I Saw Through Him
And Hugged His Neck.
He Came Home Unexpectedly
And Caught Me Cryin' Needlessly
In The Middle Of The Day.
And It Was In The Early Spring
When Flowers Bloom And Robins Sing,
He Went Away.
And Honey, I Miss You,
And I'm Bein' Good.
And I'd Love To Be With You,
If Only I Could.
One Day While He Was Not At Home,
While I Was There And All Alone,
The Angels Came.
Now All I Have Are Memories Of Honey
And I Wake Up Nights And Call His Name.
Now My Life's An Empty Stage
Where Honey Lived And Honey Played,
And Love Grew Away.
A Small Cloud Passes Overhead
And Cries Down On The Flower Bed
Where Honey Made.
And Honey, I Miss You,
And I'm Bein' Good.
And I'd Love To Be With You,
If Only I Could.
And Honey, I Miss You,
And I'm Bein' Good.
And I'd Love To Be With You,
If Only I Could.
