A Tender Look At Love

Roger Miller A Tender Look At Love Album

10.Honey

See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too
long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted
it was just a twig
The first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it
wouldn't die
Came running in all excited slipped and almost hurt herself and
i laughed till i cried

She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart i loved
her so
And i surprised her with a puppy kept me up all christmas night
two years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when i came in from working late
cause i would know
That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' over some sad and silly
late late show

And honey i miss you and i'm being good and i'd love to be with
you if only i could

She wrecked the car and she was sad and so afraid that i'd be
mad
But what the heck
Though i pretended hard to be guess you could say she saw
through me
And hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly and caught her crying needlessly in the
middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins
sing she went away

And honey i miss you and i'm being good and i'd love to be with
you if only i could

One day when i wasn't home when she was there and all alone the
angels came
Now all i have is memories of honey and i wake up nights and
call her name
Yes now my life's an empty stage where honey lived and honey
played and love grew up
And a small cloud passes overhead and cries down on the flower
bed that honey loved

And see the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been
too long it wasn't big
I laughed at her and she got mad the first day that she planted
it was just a twig
