He’s talking to his dead wife who died alone…maybe there’s more than 1 song by that name?

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

....she became ill because of helping a newly planted tree....so as a 8 year old in 1964 waiting for first feature Disney... the song stuck in my psyche...slow enough to remember the lyrics... young enough to know that love was sad... for me the first significant song

one tin soldier

billy don't be a hero

cat's in the cradle
