Little Green Apples
Love Blossoms in Unlikely Places
Lyrics
And I wake up in the mornin'
Expresses the start of the day.
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
Describes a morning interaction with a greeting.
And I stumble to the breakfast table
Depicts going to the breakfast table as the kids leave for school.
While the kids are goin' off to school goodbye
Highlights the kids saying goodbye.
And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
Describes a moment of connection as she takes his hand.
And squeezes it 'n' says "How ya feelin', hon?"
Shows her concern for his well-being.
And I look across at smilin' lips
Observes the impact of her smiling lips.
That warm my heart and see my mornin' sun
Associates her warmth with the morning sun.
And if that's not lovin' me
Expresses a condition for love.
Then all I've got to say
States a consequence if the condition is not met.
God didn't make little green apples
Challenges the existence of idealized things.
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Claims certain events are contrary to nature.
And there's no such thing as Doctor Seuss
Negates the existence of certain figures and stories.
Or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, no nursery rhyme
Rejects traditional nursery rhymes.
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterates the idea that certain things are not naturally occurring.
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Repeats the assertion about the weather in Indianapolis.
And when my self is feelin' low
Addresses a personal struggle and seeking solace.
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind
Reflects on finding comfort in thoughts of her.
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
Describes calling her despite her busy schedule.
And ask her if she could get away and meet me
Suggests making time for a meal together.
And maybe we could grab a bite to eat
Expresses the hope for a shared moment.
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
Depicts her willingness to prioritize and meet him.
And I'm always late
Admits being consistently late.
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
Illustrates her patient waiting and genuine smile.
'cause she's made that way
Attributes her demeanor to her nature.
And if that ain't lovin' me
Repeats the conditional expression of love.
Then all I've got to say
Restates the consequence if the condition is not met.
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterates the skepticism about certain natural occurrences.
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes
Contrasts the expected weather in Minneapolis during winter.
And there's no such thing as make-believe
Denies the existence of certain imaginary elements.
Puppy dogs, autumn leaves 'n' BB guns
Rejects typical childhood symbols and experiences.
God didn't make little green apples
Reiterates the disbelief in naturally occurring green apples and specific weather in Indianapolis.
And it don't rain in Indianapolis
Concludes by repeating the idea about the weather in Indianapolis.
