I picked the reddest apple from the tree.
It was the finest one that I could see.
I saved it all except a bite or two.
Just for you.

I carried home the groceries from the store.
I wanted to be helpful with a chore.
I put them all away except a few.
Just for you.

Someday I'll be grown up too.
And if I can I'll grow up just like you.
I ate up all my lunch just like you said
But I think there was a little too much bread.
And so I left the crust when I was through just for you.

Someday I'll be grown up too.
If I can I'll grow up just like you.
Just one more thing before I go to bed.
And everything I have to say is said.
There's something special that I want to do.
