Little Green Apples
Love Blossoms in Unlikely Places
Lyrics
And I wake up in the mornin'
Describing waking up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
Noticing hair in eyes and greeted by someone
And I stumble to the breakfast table
Heading to the breakfast table
While the kids are goin' off to school goodbye
Kids leaving for school, saying goodbye
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
Partner reaches out, holds hand, asks about feelings
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?"
Expressing care and concern
And I look across at smilin' lips
Observing partner's smiling lips
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
Feeling warmth and joy from partner's presence
And if that's not lovin' me
Expressing the definition of love
Then all I've got to say
Claiming that if this isn't love, then nothing is
God didn't make little green apples
Using a metaphor - God didn't create impossible things
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Stating that certain things are not expected, like rain in summer in Indianapolis
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Denying the existence of certain fanciful things
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
Listing examples of fanciful things
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating the impossibility of certain things
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Repeating the claim about rain in Indianapolis
And when my self is feelin' low
Reflecting on the partner's impact when feeling low
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Thinking about the partner's radiant face to ease the mind
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
Calling partner while knowing she's busy
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
Suggesting meeting for a meal
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
Expressing the partner's willingness to make time
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
Describing partner's quick response to the invitation
And I'm always late
Admitting to always being late
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
Partner waits patiently, smiling upon seeing late arrival
'cause she's made that way
Highlighting the partner's patient and understanding nature
And if that ain't lovin' me
Reiterating the definition of love
Then all I've got to say
Repeating the claim that if this isn't love, then nothing is
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating the metaphor about God not creating impossible things
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
Stating that certain things are not expected, like snow in Minneapolis in winter
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Denying the existence of certain fanciful things
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
Listing examples of fanciful things
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterating the impossibility of certain things
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
Repeating the claim about rain in Indianapolis
