Little Green Apples

LITTLE GREEN APPLES.



WELL I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING

WITH MY HAIR DOWN IN MY EYES AND SHE SAYS 'HI'

THEN I STUMBLE TO THE BREAKFAST TABLE

WHERE THE KIDS ARE GOING OFF TO SCHOOL, GOODBYE

THEN SHE REACHES OUT TAKES MY HAND AND SQUEEZES IT

AND SAYS 'HOW YOU FEELING HON'

THEN I LOOK ACROSS THE SMILING LIPS

THAT WARMS MY HEART AND SEE MY MORNING SUN



AND IF THAT'S NOT LOVING ME ALL THEN ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY

'GOD DIDN'T MAKE THOSE LITTLE GREEN APPLES

IT DON'T RAIN IN INDIANAPOLIS IN THE SUMMER TIME

AND THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS DR SOOS, OR DISNEY LAND OR MOTHER GOOSE OR NURSERY RHYMES

'GOD DIDN'T MAKE THOSE LITTLE GREEN APPLES

IT DON'T RAIN IN INDIANAPOLIS IN THE SUMMER TIME



AND WHEN MYSELF IS FEELING LOW I THINK ABOUT HER FACE

AGLOW TO EASE MY MIND



SOMETIMES I CALL HER UP AT HOME KNOWING SHE'S BUSY

AND ASKED HER IF SHE CAN GET AWAY AND MEET ME

AND GRAB A BITE TO EAT

AND SHE DROPS WHAT SHE'S DOING HURRIES DOWN TO MEET ME

AND I'M ALWAYS LATE

BUT SHE SITS WAITING PATIENLY SMILES WHEN SHE FIRST SEES ME

'COS SHE'S MADE THAT WAY



AND IF THAT'S NOT LOVING ME ALL THEN ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY

'GOD DIDN'T MAKE THOSE LITTLE GREEN APPLES

IT DON'T SNOW IN INDIANAPOLIS WHEN THE WINTER COMES

AND THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS MAKE BELIEVE NO PUPPY DOGS

NO AUTUMN LEAVES NO ???
