Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
The first day that she planted, it was just a twig
Now all I have is memories
And I'd love to be with you
Came running in all excited
A small cloud passes overhead
She was always young at heart
And then the first snow came
When I came home from working late 'cause I would know
And cries down on the flower bed that honey loved
And now my life's an empty stage
And honey, I miss you
I came home unexpectedly
And it was in the early spring
Yes, one day while I was not at home
And I'm being good
Over some sad and silly late, late show
So afraid that I'd be mad but what the heck
And I'm being good
And I'd love to be with you
I laughed at her and she got mad
Of honey and I wake up nights and call her name
And I'd love to be with you
Slipped and almost hurt herself, I laughed till I cried
And she ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
That she'd been there a crying
Yes, see the tree how big it's grown
While she was there and all alone the angels came
Though I pretended hard to be
I laughed at her and she got mad
And honey, I miss you
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so
The first day that she planted, it was just a twig
And it would sure embarrass her
And I'm being good
Found her crying needlessly in the middle of the day
Where honey lived and honey played and love grew up
If only I could
She wrecked the car and she was sad
If only I could
And honey, I miss you
When flowers bloom and Robins sing, she went away
Guess you could say she saw through me and hugged my neck
But friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
And I surprised her with a puppy
