Honey Love [He Called Her]

He saw her standin’ at the five and dime
Sunlight dancin’ on her dress so fine
One look, and he forgot the world
Just a boy lost in a dreamin’ swirl

She smiled, and time just slipped away
He found the words he’d always wanna say
Didn’t know her name, but he felt the flame
So he gave her one that always stayed the same—

Honey Love, he called her
Voice like velvet, slow and sure
Every heartbeat, every sigh
He saw forever in her eyes
And from that day, he never loved another
He just called her — Honey Love

Years passed, they built a little life
Two kids, some joy, a bit of strife
Still he’d take her hand each night
Whisper “Honey Love,” hold her tight

Through the gray and through the gold
Through the young and through the old
That name outlasted time and pain
A sweet refrain in the pouring rain

Honey Love, he called her
Through the storms and summer’s blur
Like a song that never fades
Like a vow he always made
And through it all, he never looked another
He just called her — Honey Love

Now he sits where silence grows
With a letter, a rose
Her name carved on that stone
But he still speaks when he’s alone

Honey Love, he called her
Even now, no voice is surer
He lays that rose with trembling hands
Still wears that old gold band
And whispers low, like no other—
“Forever mine... my Honey Love.”
