Little Green Apples
Embracing Unconditional Love: Little Green Apples' Meaning Revealed
Lyrics
And I wake up in the mornin'
Waking up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
With disheveled hair, greeted by a "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
Struggling to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school goodbye
Children heading to school, saying goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
Partner reaching out, holding hands
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?"
Asking about well-being with affection
And I look across at smilin' lips
Seeing a smiling face across the table
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
Warmth and happiness in the partner's presence
And if that's not lovin' me
Expressing love and devotion
Then all I've got to say
If this isn't love, there's nothing else to say
God didn't make little green apples
Dismissing improbable things like green apples made by God
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Contradicting the unlikely, such as no rain in Indianapolis in summer
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Denying the existence of certain things like Doctor Seuss
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
Rejecting fanciful concepts like Disneyland and nursery rhymes
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating the impossibility of green apples by God
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Repeating the idea of no rain in Indianapolis in summer
And when my self is feelin' low
Reflecting on partner's impact when feeling low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Thinking about her joyful presence to ease the mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
Calling her despite knowing she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
Suggesting a spontaneous meeting
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
Proposing grabbing a meal together
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
Partner willingly adjusting schedule to meet
And I'm always late
Consistently being late
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
Partner patiently waiting and smiling upon arrival
'cause she's made that way
Appreciating partner's understanding nature
And if that ain't lovin' me
Reiterating the theme of love and devotion
Then all I've got to say
If this isn't love, there's nothing else to say
God didn't make little green apples
Restating the unlikely, no snow in Minneapolis in winter
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
Rejecting the existence of make-believe things
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Contradicting the improbable, like puppy dogs and autumn leaves
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
(Blank line)
God didn't make little green apples
Reaffirming no rain in Indianapolis
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
Concluding with the repeated idea of no rain in Indianapolis
