I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time
The Andrews Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be with you in apple blossom time
I'll be with you to change your name to mine
One day in May, I'll come and say
Happy the bride that the sun shines on today
What a wonderful wedding there will be
What a wonderful day for you and me
Church bells will chime
You will be mine
In apple blossom time

I'll be with you (when)
In apple blossom time
(Then what will you do)
Then I'll be with you to change your name to mine
(When will that be)
One day maybe in May
(Then what will you do)
I'll come and say to you, dear
Happy the bride that the sun shines on today

Then what a wonderful wedding there will be
(One day in May)
What a very, very wonderful day for you and me, dear
Church bells will chime
You will be mine




(When)
In apple, in apple blossom time

Overall Meaning

The Andrews Sisters’ song “I’ll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time” is a sweet love song about a man who promises his beloved that he will be with her in apple blossom time, and together, they will have a wonderful wedding. The first stanza talks about the man's desire to be united with his love and for them to be married. He promises to change her name to his and vows to come to her on a sunny day in May. The second stanza follows the same sentiments; the two will have a wonderful wedding, and the church bells will chime to announce their union. At last, the song ends with a repetition of the earlier lyrics "you will be mine in apple blossom time".


The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but the central message is about love, commitment, and the promise of a bright future. The man seems to be making a serious commitment to his beloved, as he promises to change her name to his. The wedding itself is described as wonderful, which suggests that it will be a joyous occasion.

One of the Sisters retired near where my daughter learned to play oboe; it was a two-hour round trip but I just kept playing the Andrews to keep my mind off if the gas + wear&tear each week; such romance and easy going ballads in a single song. Thank you!

This was my moms favorite song. She made a record of it with her best friend. She just passed, would have been 91 at the end of the month. I love you mom.

@ralphgar3690

GOD BLESS MOM! FLOYD

@floatsting20

My mom as well. She would have been 100 this month. I remember this as a kid

@jamesd.swanson2935

mine too :)

@tsstrat

I’m so sorry. I’d love to hear the recording she made with her friend.

God bless her, you and your family. In my prayers.

My mum wrote the words out for me and gave them to me on the morning of my wedding day in 1986 ... I just played this to her as I visited her in full PPE in the care home and she remembered it and their faces and read the year off my phone. She was confused as to who I was but this brought her back and we interacted again 2021

@luludiamond1182

My mom’s favorite, too! Today is her wedding anniversary: 5/21/1955. She died young @39 years in 1972. I still remember the words and singing with her……like yesterday ❤️🙏😇

@voicegirl555

it was 77 years ago that WW2 ended. Remembering all those soldiers who died and those that came home and have since left this world i dedicate this song by the Andrew Sisters. A lovely and beautiful song. Thank you all for what you did for this country.
