See the tree how big it's grown but that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad the first day that I planted it was just a twig
Then the first snow came and I ran out to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt myself and you laughed till you cried

Yes you were always young at heart kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved you so
You surprised me with a puppy kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago
And you could sure embarrass me when you came home from working late
Cause you would know
That I'd been all alone and cryin' over some sad and lonely late late show
And honey I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
I wrecked the car and I was sad and so afraid that you'd be mad but what the heck
All afternoon you stormed around but I knew how to cool you down I hugged your neck
You came home unexpectedly and caught me crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring when flowers bloom and robins sing I went away
And honey I miss you too and I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you if only I could
One day you were not at home while I was there and all alone the angels came
Guess you thought it strange of me to live the way I did that day it was a shame
But now your laughter just began and even though you miss me hon you must go on
And when the snow fly passes overhead and cries down on my flower bed
You know you're not alone
See the tree how big it's grown but that it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad the first day that I planted it was just a twig
