Lemonade

I have a lot of blogging to get done (what's new). And I have a lot of cleaning to do (what's new). So I need something light, simple & easy to blog about today. I am totally "in love" with this song. I don't really know how old the song is or how long it's been around. Not in the mood to do a lot of research on the topic. I became aware of it a few months ago when I attended the wedding of one of my Auberg kids, Aaron. At the end of the ceremony, one of the other kids, Austin sang this song. We heard it & loved it instantly. I'm pretty sure I'm biased, cause anything from my kids I love. We found out who sang the song & what not & looked it up to buy on itunes. At this point I had only heard the song twice. Once from Austin & the other sample from itunes. Nina was standing there & said "I liked it much better when Austin sang it." I totally agree. (Told you I'm biased). But now that I've bought the song & have listened to it a million times I love hearing Chris Rice singing it too. Anyway, I just LOVE the song. Can't get enough of it. Even though this is meant to be a love song, I just love the whole lemonade concept and think we all need to embrace it a little more. Bring it on! So I thought I'd share this video & the lyrics. The video is of him singing it candidly & not the professional cut of it. I like hearing the explanation of the song cause it helps a lot. I hope you enjoy it too!!



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..
life gave me lemonade and i can't imagine why
born on a sunny day beneath the tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade
