Little Green Apples Lyrics

Oh, I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
And I stumble to the breakfast table
See the kids going off to school, "Goodbye"
She reaches out, takes my hand
Squeeze it and say "How you feeling, hon?"
And I look across her smiling lips that warm my heart
And I see my morning sun

And if that's not love in me
All I've gotta say

Oh, God didn't make little green apples
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Oh, there's no such thing as Dr. Suess, Disneyland, Mother Goose
No nursery rhymes
God didn't make little green apples
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Oh, when myself's feeling low
Think about her face aglow 'n ease my mind

Oh, sometimes I call up at home knowing that she's busy
And ask if she can get away and meet somewhere and grab a bite to eat
And she stops what she's doing
Hurries down to meet me and I'm always late
Oh, but she sits waiting patiently
Smiles when she first sees me 'cause she's made that way

And if that's not love in me
All I've gotta say

Oh, God didn't make little green apples
It don't snow in Minneapolis in the wintertime
Oh, there's no such thing as make-believe, puppy dogs, autumn leaves
No BB guns
Oh no, God didn't make little green apples
It don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime
Oh, Disneyland, Dr. Suess, nursery rhymes, and Mother Goose
She loves me
