Little Green Apples
Love's Unmatched Comparisons
Lyrics
And I wake up in the morning
Describes waking up in the morning.
With my hair down in my eyes and she says hi
Mentions the speaker's partner greeting them.
And I stumble to the breakfast table
Depicts the speaker heading to the breakfast table.
While the kids are going off to school, Goodbye.
Notes children leaving for school.
And she reaches out and takes my hand and squeezes it
Describes physical affection from the partner.
And says how you feeling hon?
Partner inquires about the speaker's well-being.
And I look across at smiling lips that warm my heart,
Highlights the partner's smiling lips and warmth.
And see my morning sun.
Mentions the partner as the "morning sun."
And if that's not loving me, then all I've got to say,
Expresses that if this isn't love, the speaker has nothing more to say.
God didn't make the little green apples,
Suggests a divine connection to love using "God."
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.
Contrasts with reality, emphasizing unlikely events.
And there's no such thing as Dr. Seuss
Lists things that supposedly do not exist.
Or Disney Land and Mother Goose, no nursery rhymes.
Further denies the existence of certain things.
God didn't make the little green apples,
Reiterates the divine aspect of love.
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.
Repeats the contrast of improbable occurrences.
And when myself is feeling low,
Reflects on turning to thoughts of the partner in tough times.
I think about her face and go and ease my mind.
-Sometimes I call her up, at home,
Describes the speaker calling their partner, aware of her busy schedule.
Knowing she's busy.
Notes the partner's busyness.
And ask her if she can get away,
Expresses a desire to meet for a meal.
Meet me and maybe we can grab a bite to eat.
Speaker is habitually late, partner accommodating.
And she drops what she's doing
Describes the partner dropping everything to meet the speaker.
And she hurries down to meet me, and I'm always late.
Highlights the speaker's perpetual lateness.
But she sits waiting patiently,
Emphasizes the partner's patience.
And smiles when she first sees me, because she's made that way.
Notes the partner's happy reaction to seeing the speaker.
And if that ain't loving me, then all I've got to say,
If this isn't love, the speaker has nothing more to say.
God didn't make the little green apples,
Reiterates the divine connection to love.
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes.
Contrasts with reality, emphasizing improbable weather.
And there's no such thing as make-believe,
Denies the existence of certain things.
Puppy dogs or autumn leaves, no BB guns.
Further denies the existence of certain things.
God didn't make the little green apples,
Reiterates the divine aspect of love.
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes.
Repeats the contrast of improbable weather.
