Another Pete Ham Badfinger song from the Album ASS not a very commercial success as I recall. Ass was last album on Apple records and this song was Pete hams musical goodbye. They then moved to Warner records. They still didnt make money.
Story behind the song
Canned drum track. Martin d35 and Gibson sg used Not sure what Badfinger used for effects on that middle guitar rundown. I mixed in some chorus and delay to try and get close to what I heard. Always like this one finally got around to
covering it.. And I believe Pete Ham doing his own harmonies is a first to my knowledge in the badfinger catalog without tom or Joey
Lyrics
Apple of My Eye
Song by
Badfinger
Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to move away
Though, inside my heart, I really want to stay
Believe the love we have is so sincere
You know the gift you have will always be
You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my heart
But now the time has come to part
Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to make a stand
Though we never meant to bite the lovin' hand
And now the time has come to walk alone
We were the children, now we've overgrown
You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my heart
But now the time has come to part
Oh, I'm sorry, but it's time to move away
Though inside my heart I really want to stay
Believe the love we have is so sincere
You know the gift you have will always be
You're the apple of my eye
You're the apple of my heart
But now the time has come to part
Now the time has come to part
Now the time has come to part
