Once again, my good friend Bobby Goldsboro.
[G]
[C]
See the tree how big it's grown, but friend it hasn't been too long.
[Dm] It [G] wasn't big.
[Dm] [G]
[Dm] I laughed at her [G] and she got mad.
[Dm] The first day that [G] she planted it [C] was just a twig.
Then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away.
[Dm] So it [G] wouldn't die.
[Dm] [G]
[D] Came running in [G] all excited, [D] slipped and [G] almost hurt herself.
[C] And I laughed till I cried.
She was always young at heart, kinda dumb and kinda [Dm] smart.
And [G] I loved her so.
[Dm] [G]
[Dm] And I [G] surprised her with a puppy.
[Dm] Kept me [G] up all Christmas [C] Eve, two years ago.
And it would sure embarrass her when I came in from working late.
[D] [G] Cause I would [D] know [G] that she'd been sitting there and crying
over some sad [C] and silly late, late show.
And honey, [Dm] I miss [G] you.
[Dm] [G] And [C] I'm being good.
And I'd love [Dm] to be with [G] you.
[Dm] [G] If only [C] I could.
She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that I'd be [Dm] mad.
But [G] what the heck.
[D] [G]
[D] Though I pretended [G] hard to be, [Dm] guess you could say she [G] saw through me.
[C] And hugged my neck.
I came home unexpectedly and caught her crying needlessly.
[Dm] In the [G] middle of the day.
[Dm] [G]
[Dm] And it was in the [G] early spring when [Dm] flowers bloom and [G] robins sing.
[C] She went away.
And honey, [Dm] I miss [G] you.
[Dm] And I'm [C] being good.
And I'd love to be with you.
[G] [Dm] If [G] only I [C] could.
[Em] [A] One [D] day while I was not at home, while she was there and all alone.
[Em] The angels [A] came.
[Em] [Em] Now all I [A] have are memories of [Em] honey.
[A] And I wake up nights [D]
and call her name.
Now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey [Em] played.
[A] And love grew up.
[Em] And a small [A] cloud passes overhead [Em] and cries down [A] on a flower [D] bed.
Honey, no.
