Little Green Apples Lyrics By O C Smith

    and i wake up in the morning
    with my hair down in my eyes and she says hi
    and i stumble to the breakfast table
    while the kids are going off to school goodbye
    and she reaches out and takes my hand
    and squeezes it and says how ya feeling hon
    and i look across at smiling lips
    that warm my heart and see my morning sun

    and if that’s not loving me
    then all i’ve got to say
    oh god didn’t make little green apples
    and it don’t rain in indianapolis
    in the summertime
    and there’s no such thing as doctor seuss
    disneyland mother goose
    there’s no nursery rhyme
    god didn’t make little green apples
    and it don’t rain in indianapolis
    in the summertime
    and when my self 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 ask if she could get away
    and meet me and grab a bite to eat
    and she drops what she’s doing
    and she hurries down to meet me
    and i’m always late
    but she sits waiting patiently
    and smiles when she first sees me
    cause she’s made that way

    if that ain’t loving me
    woah all i’ve got to say
    god didn’t make little green apples
    and it don’t snow in minneapolis
    when the winter comes
    and there’s no such thing as makebelieve
    puppy dogs autumn leaves
    and bb guns

    god didn’t make little green apples
    and it don’t rain in indianapolis
    in the summertime
    and when my self is feeling low
    i think about her face aglow
    to ease my mind
