Green Apples
You’re sweet as green apples, you must be the one
Ok, so you probably know by now that I have a new boyfriend. He is absolutely wonderful. No need to go into details, really. I just don’t feel like getting intellectual about it. We were talking last night and I think it was he who said (I can’t remember exactly because we were talking about deep stuff and we both feel the same way) that it feels like we’ve known each other forever. And you know what? He’s right, we have known each other forever. I was beginning to think that he was just all in my head, but he was real, out there somewhere, so yeah, we have known each other forever.
One of my favorite singers, Chantal Kreviazuk, (who I’m going to see in concert Wednesday night when she opens for Five for Fighting, who I am not going to see) has a song called Green Apples. In it she sings of a love, and compares him to all the sweet and comforting things that can be found in everyday life.
And you are cotton candy
You’re double rainbows
Beside a settin’ sun
You’re wood burnin’ outside
There’s a fire glowin’
You’re sweet as green apples
You must be the one
You bring me
To the heart of a golden man
You bring me
To the natural truth
You take me
To the solid hollow
And keep me sailing
This ocean of youth
That’s why you’re toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You’re double rainbows
Beside a setttin’ sun
You’re wood bunin’ outside
There’s a fire glowin’
You’re sweet as green apples
You must be the one
So take me to an altar of diamonds
And run with me through sheets of jungle rain
Show me all your manly mystery
And let me heal your beautiful pain
Be my island in crowds of faces
My oasis
Be there
And lead me to the holy water
And introduce me to the place you are from
Wherever you go you know I will follow
So take me there and I will come
I will come
You’re toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You’re double rainbows
Beside a settin’ sun
You’re wood burnin’ outside
There’s a, a fire glowin’
You’re my sweet green apples
You must be the one
I’m sayin’ you’re toast and jam
And you are cotton candy
You’re double rainbows
Beside a settin’ sun
You’re wood burnin’ outside
There’s a fire glowin’
You’re sweet as green apples
You must be the one
You’re sweet as green apples
You must be the one
Sweet as green apples
You must be the one
Hey! I came here via Mist1’s blog. I wanted to see what a fellow Vegas-ite(?) writes about here and there. So, I will visit often!
Aw! You’re so cute!
Yay! You sound so happy! I’m happy you’re happy.
Now that is excellent
I’m so happy for you!
I just don’t feel like getting intellectual about it.
Well good for you! Our minds can really get in the way of the heart. When the heart and mind disagree, the heart is correct more often.
I’m so happy for you!
Congratulations on finding a wonderful buy!
