when life gives you lemons

you know how it is when you are facing various situations in life? when something good happens, you are all happy & dandy. but when shiate happens, you curse & swear and ask 'why me?'. has anyone actually asked 'why not me?'

well, i have been through many ups & downs. of course, when it is up, i am all happy & thank the one above. when its all bad, i mope & am so depressed. but i always try to see the silver lining (however faint it may seem) behind the gray & gloomy cloud. i am a firm believer of everything happens for a reason. and sure enough, the silver lining reveals itself & at the end of it all, i am grateful for what happened when it did.

yes it may seem a pain & downright annoying that people may seem so positive & cheery all the time. but it is tougher to remain calm & positive when you are faced with such challenges. so when life throws you lemons, what do you do?



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 lemondade
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 lemondade
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
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
