The Apple Song (One More Time)

If there was an apple, it's all gone now
Even the stem and the seeds, she don't remember how
Once her skin was golden but she stayed till it burned
Fell asleep in the sunshine, you would think she'd learn
If you gave her sweet lemon pie, she'd ask for lime
If you gave her eight days a week, she'd hold out for nine

Now she says she wants to fall in love
One more time

If there was a garden, they've closed the gate
Our friend she is knocking, she knows that she's late
Empty with hunger, she whispers with thirst
I know you don't trust her, you saw her at her worst
When she begged for a nickel and you gave her a dime
And she still showed up on Sunday to drink the free wine

Now she says she wants to fall in love
One more time

If you gave her an apple, she'd plant the seed
Kneel in the garden, get dirt on her knees
There would be sweet trees and shade if she had her way
Somehow I believe her when I hear her say

That she could be true, she could even be kind
Could see it through, finish the line
She could be true, she could even be kind
Do you think you could spare her one more rhyme?

Would you let her fall in love
She only wants to fall in love
Asking please to fall in love
Begging please to fall in love
Would you let her fall in love
One more time?
