We've been apart all summer
Oh, it's been so long, my love
I missed you in the moonlight
And I cried on Tu B'Av
But you're coming from the Catskills
There's a crispness in the air
I've been waiting at the station
And your train is drawing near
'Cause you're the apple in the honey
You're the pomegranate seeds
You're the carrots in the tzimmes
And the plate of black-eyed peas
There's so many ways to say it
I'll be glad to list them all
You're just as sweet as honey
You're my favorite sign of fall
We will wander through the orchard
Then go fishing at the pier
I'm so glad that you have picked me
Looking forward to next year
I know we'll stay together
Even if we may be roamin'
Don't need more signs or portents
You're my one and only omen
'Cause you're the apple in the honey
You're the pomegranate seeds
You're the carrots in the tzimmes
And the plate of black-eyed peas
There's so many ways to say it
I'll be glad to testify
You're the sweetest, you're my honey
You're the apple of my eye
Don't care about the other fish
I don't need one more date
You'll always be the one for me
I won't equivocate
You're the apple in the honey
You're the pomegranate seeds
You're the carrots in the tzimmes
And the plate of black-eyed peas
There's so many ways to say it
I'll be glad to list them all
You're just as sweet as honey
You're my favorite sign of fall
