  • 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 schoo, goodbye
    And she reaches out 'n' takes my hand
    And squeezes it 'n' 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
    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 ain't 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 'n' BB guns... Writer/s: Robert Russell
