Little Green Apples
Love Blooms Like Unmade Green Apples
Lyrics
And I wake up in the mornin'
Expressing the start of the day
With my hair down in my eyes and he says Hi
Describing a personal connection with someone who greets with a friendly "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
Narrating a morning routine, heading to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school goodbye
Referencing children leaving for school
And he reaches out 'n' takes my hand
Depicting a moment of affection, holding hands
And squeezes it 'n' says How ya feelin', hon?
Describing a caring inquiry about well-being
And I look across at smilin' lips
Noticing a partner's smiling lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
Expressing warmth and happiness in the relationship
And if that's not lovin' me
Asserting that this affection is true love
Then all I've got to say
Stating that if this isn't love, nothing else is
God didn't make little green apples
Using a metaphorical expression to emphasize the sincerity of love
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Further emphasizing the rarity of certain events as a metaphor for the depth of love
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Listing improbable things to underscore the uniqueness of the relationship
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
Denying the existence of common fairy tales and nursery rhymes in comparison to their extraordinary love
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating the metaphor of rare, miraculous occurrences to describe the extraordinary nature of love
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Repeating the idea of the rarity of events, emphasizing the uniqueness of their love
And when my self is feelin' low
Reflecting on the partner's positive impact during low moments
I think about his face aglow and ease my mind
Thinking about the partner's happy face as a source of comfort
Sometimes I call him up at home knowin' he's busy
Initiating contact with the partner despite being aware of their busyness
And ask him if he could get away and meet me
Suggesting a desire to spend time together and share a meal
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
Proposing a casual plan for meeting up
And he drops what he's doin' and he hurries down to meet me
Highlighting the partner's willingness to prioritize and meet despite being busy
And I'm always late
Admitting to being consistently late
But he sits waitin' patiently and smiles when he first sees me
Describing the partner's patient waiting and warm reaction
Cause he's made that way
Attributing the partner's positive behavior to their inherent nature
And if that ain't lovin' me
Reiterating that this affection is true love
Then all I've got to say
Asserting that if this isn't love, nothing else is
God didn't make little green apples
Repeating the metaphorical expression to emphasize the sincerity of love
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
Extending the metaphor to describe the rarity of certain events during winter
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Denying the existence of make-believe and common childhood elements in comparison to their extraordinary love
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
Listing improbable things to underscore the uniqueness of the relationship
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating the metaphor of rare, miraculous occurrences to describe the extraordinary nature of love
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
Concluding with a repetition of the idea of the rarity of events, emphasizing the uniqueness of their love
