Before I'm fully awake
he's leaning over the bed, saying "hello".
And then we drink our coffee
when the kids have gone to school, and I've gotten myself roused
And he takes my had and squeezes it,
laughs when he sees how tired I am.
And then he smiles while giving me a kiss
goodbye, before it's off to work.
If it's not love
Then all I know is:
God didn't create little green apples
there are no sees, there are no islands in that case
Then no kids are playing tag, then there are no happy laughs,
then the sun is cold.
God didn't create little green apples
there are no mountains and no lakes
No, believe in my words:
If it's not love then,
there is no such thing (as love) to receive on this earth
I call him at work sometimes,
know he's in a hurry.
Tell me, can you get away for a moment
and get something to eat?
And he lets go of everything to meet me in town,
and of course I'm late
But he waits with a patient smile and says indulgently:
I know you.
If it's not love
Then all I know is:
God didn't create little green apples
there are no sees, there are no islands in that case
Then there is no New York-smog
and no London-fog
then the sun is cold
God didn't create little green apples
there are no mountains and no lakes
No, believe in my words:
If it's not love then,
there is no such thing (as love) to receive on this earth
