Discover the story of the song > Little Green Apples – Bobby Goldsboro

The protagonist wakes up to his partner greeting him in the morning, and goes to have breakfast as their kids head off to school. His partner holds his hand, asks how he's feeling, and her smile warms his heart. He thinks about her when he's feeling low and sometimes calls her to meet up, and even though she's busy, she always makes time for him. The song emphasizes that these things are what love is really about, and that certain things (like little green apples and impossible weather) don't actually exist.
