[Intro 1]
[Am][D][G]

[Verse 1]
See the tree, [G]how big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too [Am]long
It [D]wasn't big [Am]I la[D]ughe[Am]d
at her and she [D]got mad
[Am]The first day that s[D]he planted it,
[G]it was just a twig
Then the first snow came and she ran out
To brush the snow away,
[Am]so it wo[D]uldn't d[Am]ie
[D]Came run[Am] ning in, all [D]excited
[Am]Slipped and almost hurt [D]herself
[G]I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart,
kind of dumb and kind of smart, [Am]and I loved [D]her so[Am][D]
I [Am]surprised her with [D]a puppy,
[Am]kept me up all
Christ[D]mas
Eve two [G]years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when
I came home from workin' late
Cause [Am]I would know,
[D]that [Am]she'd[D] b[Am]een sittin' there an[D]d cryin'
[Am]Over some [D]sad and silly [G]late, late show
And honey, [Am]I miss you,
[D]but[Am] I'm [D]being good[G]
And I'd love to be [Am]with you,
[D]if [Am]only [D]I coul[G]d
She wrecked the car and she was sad
and so afraid that I'd be mad
[Am]But what the h[D]eck?[Am][D]
Though I [Am]pretended hard [D]to be a guest
[Am]You could say she saw [D]through
me an[G]d hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and
found her crying needlessly
[Am]In the middl[D]e of the day[Am]
[D]And it [Am]was in the early spr[D]ing
[Am]When flowers bloom [D]and robins sing
[G]She went away
And honey, [Am]I miss yo[D]u
[Am]And I'm [D]being good[G], and I'd love to be with [Am]you,
[D]if [Am]only I [D]could[G][Bm]
[E]Yes, [A]one day while I was gone,
she was there all [Bm]alone[E][Bm]
[E]Now all[Bm] I have is [E]memor
ies of honey
[Bm]And I [E]wake up nights and c[A]all her name
Now my life's an empty stage
Where honey lived and honey played
[Bm]An d love gr[E]ew up[Bm]
[E]And a sma[Bm]ll cloud dances ove[E]r me,
[Bm]cries down in [E]the family [A]bed, that we loved.
And honey I mis[Bm]s you[E], bu[Bm]t I'm[E] being good,[A]
and I'd love to be [Bm]with [E]you.
If only I could
