	        I: 

D                 D7M 
See the tree, how big it's grown 
    D6               D7M 
But friend it hasn't been too long 
   Em 
It wasn't big 
  A7 
I laughed at her and she got mad 
                                              D 
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig 
D                   D7M 
Then the first snow came 
            D6               D7M 
And she ran out to brush the snow away 
   Em 
So it wouldn't die 
A7 
Came runnin' in all excited 
Slipped and almost hurt herself 
      D 
And I laughed till I cried 

II: 

D              D7M 
She was always young at heart 
D6                   D7M                 Em 
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved her so 
A7 
And I surprised her with a puppy 
                                 D 
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago 
D                 D7M 
And it would sure embarrass her 
D6                  D7M 
When I came in from workin' late 
Em 
'Cause I would know 
A7 
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' 
                        D 
Over some sad and silly late, late show 

Chorus:  
             Em 
And honey, I miss you 
A             D   D7 
And I'm bein' good 
                   Em 
And I'd love to be with you 
A         D     A#7     
If only I could 

III: 

    D#                  D#7M 
She wrecked the car and she was sad 
    D#6            D#7M 
And so afraid that I'd be mad 
    Fm 
But what the heck 
       A#7 
Though I pretended hard to be 
Guess you could say she saw through me 
     D#  
And hugged my neck 
   D#           D#7M 
I came home unexpectedly 
    D#6               D#7 
And caught her cryin' needlessly 
       Fm 
In the middle of the day 
    A# 
And it was in the early Spring 
When flowers bloom and robins sing 
D# 
She went away 

Chorus: 

             Fm 
And honey, I miss you 
A#            D#   D#7 
And I'm bein' good 
                   Fm 
And I'd love to be with you 
A#        D#    B7 
If only I could 

IV: 

    E               E7M 
One day while I was not at home 
      E6                E7M 
While she was there and all alone 
    F#m 
The angels came 
     B            
Now all I have is memories of Honey 
                         E 
And I wake up nights and call her name 
    E                  E7M 
Now my life's an empty stage 
      E6              E7M 
Where Honey lived and Honey played 
    F#m 
And love grew up 
      B 
And a small cloud passes overhead 
    B7 
And cries down on the flower bed 
     E 
That Honey loved 

V(fading, same chords) 

    E                E7M 
And see the tree how big it's grown 
    E6               E7M 
But friend it hasn't been too long 
   F#m 
It wasn't big 
      B      
And I laughed at her and she got mad 
    B7                                 E     
The first day that she planted it, was just a twig
