Two little apples sitting on a shelf,

One says "come" and the other cries "help."

One says "smile" and the other asks "why?"

Two little apples, you and I.

Two little apples, waiting in the sun,

One says "leap" and the other cries "run."

One moves forward, the other is shy,

Two little apples, you and I.

Two little apples, ready to play,

Wondering what life will bring today.

Wanting to laugh, and wanting to fly,

Two little apples, you and I.
