4:04When I was small I had an apple seed And my mama told me To dig a little hole and water it well And little by little it grew I was crouching down when I saw a tiny leaf I saw one, I saw two I kept on going like momma said to I saw five leaves, I saw ten When I got to twenty had to count again I was balancing on tiptoe Counting all those little leaves Years went by and I kept on My apple tree grew with water and sun An apple tree tall taller than me Standing proud like a friend should be With leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Now I'm here under that shade Counting all the red red apples she made My apple tree sings her apple tree song I'll listen and learn and pass it on With leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep All my life I'll have a place to climb A place to read and hide A place to dream and grow Apple tree listen to my woes Tell me your secret I will keep Apple tree I will guard your sleep Apple tree tall, what friends we'll be With leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green, apples so sweet Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep Leaves so green and apples so sweet (apples so sweet) Boughs so strong and roots so deep When I am grown with a daughter like me Apple tree tall will you give to me One little seed, I promise I'll tell My little girl to water it well
