BOBBY GOLDSBORO http://www.youtube.com/user/creektrouble THIS VIDEO IS FOR DONNA A SWEET EXISTENCE! 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 exited
Slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed ‘til I cried
She was always young at heart
Kind of dumb and kind a smart and I love 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 home from working 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 crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and Robin 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 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 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 Ilaughed at her and she got mad

Awesome but very sad . God bless all those listening that I've lost the one they love.
Lost my love over stupidity. Hang on to what you got folks. You will miss it when it's gone. We still talk but she's no longer my honey.
Too much vibrato in his voice.
From the first time I heard this song, sung by Bobby Goldsboro, every time, including 30 seconds ago, I haven't been able to love it without crying my eyes out. It was a favourite of my dear departed mother, like 'Honey', also an avid gardener……
For all whom I've loved and who have either gone before, or left my life, I lament.
Forgive me, I had need to share this thought, a penance perhaps, for still being here…alone, amongst millions.
Romanticismo puro ❤
😭
Be yourselves DO NOT BE ME IN MY STOLEN CLOTHES SHOES ET CETERA, as dismal depressing that is,
Lost my honey bear December 2017 😢

I lost my grandma over 6 years ago. When I was 3 years old, she played this song for me on an old phonograph at my grandparents' old farmhouse. I had such great memories on that farm and of my grandmother. Every time I play this song, it reminds me of her and happy memories and happier times as a very young child. I'm now 57 years old and I cry and wishing I could go back in time.
How can someone not love this song? This song lift my spirits up beautiful voice with lovely lyrics ❤
so sad ,the part where he sings one day when I was not at home the Angels came, she was alone when she passed .😢😢
I wonder if the song is written in remembrance of someone he loved
I'm xennial, and as a teenager in the late 90's my mom and grandma introduced me to Classic Country. I fell deeply in love with this somber, sad beautiful song and it still makes me sob 😢
My moms absolute favorite song. Miss and love ❤️ you mom!!
My HONEY margret
My mom's nickname was honey. I love miss her so much
This is a Moms Day song if ever there was one…My Mom died at the young age of 50. That beast Cancer got Her. I wa only 27, and I remained numb for years. I felt I dealt with it.Not until I played this one on my Sunday morning internet show on KABL the tears flowed again. ..she never saw Me travel Europe or the USA, graduate from college, become successful in my Radio career, buy my home, re-marry, have a beautiful child and survive Cancer myself. This song is a beauty. I will always miss my Mom.
This is one of the most melancholy and beautiful songs in the whole universe. My Dad introduced me to this song and we both cried together when listening to it. I’d love to hear it covered by my favorite singer, Morrissey. 🖤

I've always loved Bobby Goldsboro's work. What a talented artist! I was nearly five when this tear-jerker extraordinaire was released. I had the 45 (still might). My folks surprised me with a West-Highland terrier puppy that Christmas Eve; I named her Fluffy. For six years, she was my constant companion. 3x she snuck out, returning pregnant, so Daddy fenced the entire yard. A poodle larger than her sired her 3rd litter, causing birthing complications. I was standing at the gate by Mom's flower bed (she used to get in there and dig up the petunias) the morning Daddy drove her to the vet. She'd been in labor all night, but by sunrise, still hadn't had the pups. I still recall her sad brown eyes looking back at me thru the back window of his station-wagon as he pulled away. I would never see her again. Later that day, the vet phoned, saying there'd been a problem, and if it came to it, would we prefer he prioritize saving Fluffy or her pups. We chose Fluffy. He did not, attemping to save them all and she died while he was sewing her up. It was devastating, but we had six orphaned newborns to contend with so small they fit in Dad's shirt pocket. All survived, thanks to Mom rubbing mineral oil on their tiny tummies to simulate Fluffy's licking so their digestive systems would begin working, carrying them around in her purse with a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel everywhere she went, or literally placing them between her breasts, hanging over the front of her bra to keep them warm (Mom was well-endowed). We fed them formula with an eye-dropper every two hours round the clock until they could take baby food. The tiniest, Barney, who was presumed a goner, outlived all his sibs, dying at 14. After Fluffy died, "Honey" became "Fluffy" when I'd play the song. I adopted it, shifting a word here and there to fit my situation, I guess, as a child's way of grieving. To this day, I can't listen to it, as beautiful as it is, without crying like I'm eleven again and have just lost my best friend. Rest in Peace, Honey, Mom, Dad, Barney and Fluffy, and Blessed Be.
What happened to the puppy? Probably chucked it out😢
❤️👏👏👏

I've recently lost my darling wife Ann through cancer and this song means so much as Ann has left a beautiful garden that she planted.
I love this song so much, my ex used to sing it to but he's with someone else now. 😢
