Honey - guitar chords and comments
Lyrics without distraction HERE
Singer and songwriter Bobby Russell never recorded this himself, but passed it over to Bobby Goldsboro in 1968. Goldsboro never managed to succeed this hit for real: his style was maybe too pure for the pop music and rock'n roll scene. He kinda faded away, and for the following years, he concentrated on making music and scripts for children's movies and series, finding a rewarding market. Russell penned his last song in -73, passed away in -92 after a heart attack and was inducted to Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame two years later.
A
see the tree how big it's grown
Amaj7 Bm (Bm7 - E7 - Bm7)
but friend it hasn't been too long it wasn't big
Bm E7
I laughed at her and she got mad
Bm E7 A (Amaj7 - F#m - E7
the first day that she planted it was just a twig
A
then the first snow came and she ran out
Amaj7 Bm (Bm7 - E7 - Bm7)
to brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Bm E7
came running in all exited
Bm E7 A
slipped and almost hurt herself and I laughed till I cried
Amaj7 Bm E7 A
and Honey I miss you and I'm being good
Amaj7 Bm E7 A
and I'd love to be with you if only I could
