Claudia Robin Gunn - Apple Tree

When 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
