[INTRO]
[Dm7] [G7] [C] [Dm7]
[VERSE 1]
[C]See the tree how big it's grown but friend it hasn't been too long it [Dm7]wasn't big[G7] [Dm7] [G7]
I [Dm7]laughed at her and [G7]she got mad the [Dm7]first day that she [G]planted it was [C]just a twig
And then the first snow came and she ran out to brush the snow away so it [Dm7]wouldn't die[G7] [Dm7] [G7]
Came [Dm7]running in [G7]all excited [Dm7]slipped and almost [G]hurt herself, [C]I laughed till I cried
She was always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and [Dm7]I loved her [G7]so [Dm7] [G7]
And [Dm7]I surprised her [G7]with a puppy [Dm7]kept me up all [G7]Christmas Eve two [C]years ago
And it would sure embarrass her when I came home from working late cause [Dm7]I would know[G7] [Dm7] [G7]
That [Dm7]she'd been there a [G7]cryin' [Dm7]over some [G]sad and silly [C]late late show
And honey I [Dm7]miss you,[G7] and I'm being [C]good and I'd love to be [Dm7]with you,[G7] if only I [C]could
[VERSE 2]
She [C]wrecked the car and she was sad so afraid that I'd be mad [Dm7] but what the heck[G7] [Dm7] [G7]
Though [Dm7]I pretended [G7]hard to be guess [Dm7]you could say she [G7]saw through me and [C]hugged my neck
I came home unexpectedly caught her crying needlessly in the [Dm7]middle of the day[G7] [Dm7] [G7]
Then [Dm7]it was in the [G7]early spring when [Dm7]flowers bloom and [G7]robins sing [C]she went away
And honey I [Dm7]miss you,[G7] and I'm being [C]good and I'd love to be [Dm7]with you,[G7] if only I [C]could [A]
[VERSE 3]
Yes [D]one day while I wasn't home while [D7]she was there and all alone the [Em7]angels came[A7] [Em7] [A7]
Now [Em7]all I have is [A7]memories of [Em7]honey and I [A7]wake up nights and [D]call her name
And [D]now my life's an empty stage where [D7]honey lived and honey played and [Em7]love grew up[A7] [Em7] [A7]
A [Em7]small cloud passes [A7]overhead and [Em7]cries down on the [A7]flower bed that [D]honey loved
Yes [D]see the tree how big it's grown but [D7]friend it hasn't been too long it [Em7]wasn't big[A7] [Em7] [A7]
I [Em7]laughed at her and [A7]she got mad the [Em7]first day that she [A7]planted it was [D]just a twig
And honey I [Em7]miss you,[A7] and I'm being [D]good and I'd love to be [Em7]with you,[A7] if only I [D]could...
