And I wake up in the mornin'
                                           
with my hair down in my eyes and she says "Hi"
        
And I stumble to the breakfast table
                                           
while the kids are goin' off to school goodbye
          
And she reaches out and takes my hand
                                   
and squeezes it and says "How ya feelin', hon?"
       
And I look across at smilin' lips
                                
that warm my heart and see my mornin' sun

                              
And if that's not lovin' me
                           
then all I've got to say


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
                                       
or Disneyland, and Mother Goose, 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 feelin' low
                                
I think about her face aglow and ease my mind

                                           
Sometimes I call her up at home knowin' she's busy
       
and ask her if she could get away and meet me
                            
and maybe we could grab a bite to eat
          
And she drops what she's doin' and she hurries down to meet me
           
and I'm always late
         
But she sits waitin' patiently and smiles when she first sees me
               
'cause she's made that way

                              
And if that's not lovin' me
                         
then 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 make believe,
                            
puppy dogs, autumn leaves and BB guns


God didn't make little green apples

And it don't rain in Indianapolis....
