Today’s prompt has to do with death/murder/kill … Wow that’s got put you in a great place… Thanks Mr. Jim Adams. A lot creepy songs about that topic so I’m just going to keep it a little less creepy.. Back in the day I use to listen to a song by Bobby Goldsboro, “Honey”. I thought that would work and be kind of okay
Honey
… 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 ’til 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, late show
… And honey, I miss you
And I’m being good
And I’d love to be with you
If only I 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
And I’m being good
And 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
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 over head
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
I remember this song and singing it when I was very young. Enjoy…
This song always makes me cry, no matter how many times I hear it.
I’m glad you liked it Mr. Jim… However,, the husband gave me the what for’s and told me to put up a better song, so guess I should redeem myself..Thanks though, I liked the song.
