Honey Lynn Anderson

See the tree
How big it's grown
But friend, it hasn't been too long
It wasn't big
And I laughed at him
And he got mad
The first day that he planted it
It was just a twig

Then the first snow came and he ran out
To brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited
Slipped and almost hurt himself
And I laughed till I cried

He was always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart
And I loved him so
And I surprised him with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And it would sure embarrass me

When he'd come in from working late '
Cause he'd always know
If I'd been sittin' there and cryin' over
Some sad and silly late, late show
