I was 11 when God first gave me lemons, You see, He took my hand and walked me through the city of Heaven, He told me he had a surprise, but I had to give up something precious. I asked him what, And he pointed, and said "Her." My eyes opened wide and I asked, "Why?" He said he wanted to give me something better, But how? How could taking her away be better? How? He laughed And said you'll see. As he walked away With Her by his side. You see, I was only 11 when God gave me lemons and I cried.

The one-time God gave me a lemon and I cried
I was 11 when God first gave me lemons, You see, He took my hand and walked me through the city of Heaven, He told me he had a surprise, but I had to give up something precious. I asked him what, And he pointed, and said "Her." My eyes opened wide and I asked, "Why?" He said he wanted to give me something better, But how? How could taking her away be better? How? He laughed And said you'll see. As he walked away With Her by his side. You see, I was only 11 when God gave me lemons and I cried.
