Thanks for the Lemonade

I really enjoy Sunday nights. Now that we're on break there is no organizing to be done so I get a chance to read a bunch of blogs at a leisurely pace instead of just playing catch up with my friends.

Some ladies have been very busy writing this week!

I always enjoy reading about Beth's life. She has four fabulous kids of her own and someday I hope to get a chance to meet her - we seem very similar and yet very different. I found the lyrics to a song I never would have heard on Beth's blog. I never would have heard it only because I do not listen to Contemporary Christian music. Not because I don't like it, it is simply out of my current frame of reference. The song is by a young man named Chris Rice. You can hear it performed here.

So go ahead and ask her
For happy ever after
‘Cause nobody knows what’s coming
So why not take a chance on loving
Come on, pour the glass and tempt me
Either half-full or half-empty
‘Cause if it all comes down to flavor
The glass is tipping in my favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

Now take your time to answer me
For the beauty of romancing
Is to calm your trembling hand with mine
While begging love to fill your eyes
I can hardly breathe while waiting
To find out what your heart is saying
And as we’re swirling in this flavor
The world is tilting in our favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

I’ve got it made
Rest in the shade
And hold my love
While God above
Stirs with a spoon
We share the moon
Smile at the bees
More sugar please
He really loves us after all
We’re gonna need another straw!
We’re gonna need another straw!

Life gave me lemonade and I can’t imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I’m a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!
