Ray Conniff - Honey i miss you

^DSee the tree, how ^D7Mbig it's grown But ^D6friend it hasn't ^D7Mbeen too long It ^Emwasn't big I ^A7laughed at her and she got mad The first day that she planted it, was just a ^Dtwig ^DThen the first snow ^D7Mcame And she ran ^D6out to brush the ^D7Msnow away So ^Emit wouldn't die ^A7Came runnin' in all excited Slipped and almost hurt herself And I ^Dlaughed till I cried

^DShe was always ^D7Myoung at heart ^D6Kinda dumb and kinda ^D7Msmart and I loved he^Emr so ^A7And I surprised her with a puppy Kept me up all Christmas Eve two ^Dyears ago ^DAnd it would sure ^D7Membarrass her ^D6When I came in from ^D7Mworkin' late ^Em'Cause I would know ^A7That she'd been sittin' there and cryin' Over some sad and silly ^Dlate, late show

And honey, I ^Emmiss you ^AAnd I'm bein' ^Dgood^D7 And I'd love to be ^Emwith you ^AIf only I ^Dcould ^A#7

She ^D#wrecked the car and ^D#7Mshe was sad And ^D#6so afraid that ^D#7MI'd be mad But ^Fmwhat the heck Though ^A#7I pretended hard to be Guess you could say she saw through me And h^D#ugged my neck I c^D#ame home unex^D#7Mpectedly And ^D#6caught her cryin' ^D#7needlessly In the ^Fmmiddle of the day And ^A#it was in the early Spring When flowers bloom and robins sing ^D#She went away

And honey, I ^Fmmiss you ^A#And I'm bein' ^D#good ^D#7 And I'd love to be ^Fmwith you ^A#If only I ^D#could ^B7

One ^Eday while I was ^E7Mnot at home While ^E6she was there and ^E7Mall alone The ^F#mangels came Now a^Bll I have is memories of Honey And I wake up nights and ^Ecall her name Now ^Emy life's an empty ^E7Mstage Where ^E6Honey lived and ^E7MHoney played And ^F#mlove grew up And a ^Bsmall cloud passes overhead And ^B7cries down on the flower bed That ^EHoney loved

And ^Esee the tree how ^E7Mbig it's grown But ^E6friend it hasn't ^E7Mbeen too long It ^F#mwasn't big And I ^Blaughed at her and she got mad The ^B7first day that she planted it, was ^Ejust a twig
