Honey (I Miss You) (Album Version)

Honey (I Miss You) (Album) - Ray Conniff & The Singers

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

Then the first snow came

And she ran out to brush the snow away

So it wouldn't die

Came runnin' 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

And I loved her so

And I surprised her with a puppy

Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago

And it would sure embarrass her

When I came in from workin' late

'Cause I would know

That she'd been sittin' there and cryin'

Over some sad and silly late show

And honey I miss you

Honey I miss you

And I'm bein' good

I'm bein' good

Love to be with you

I'd love to be with you

If only I could

If I only 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 cryin' 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

Honey I miss you

And I'm bein' good

I'm bein' good

And I'd love to be with you

I'd love to be with you

If only I could

One day while I was not at home

While she was there and all alone

The angels came

The angels came

Now all I have is memories of Honey

And I wake up nights and call her name

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

And I laughed at her and she got mad

The first day that she planted it

Was just a twig
