I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes

when you take you got to give so live and let live or let go ooo oooo

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden.



I can't promise you things like big diamonds rings

but you don't find roses growing fields of clover so better think it

over

when if sweet talking you would make it come true

I'd give you the world right now on a silver platter but what would it

matter

so smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholic

come on and share the good times while we can



I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes



I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon

but if that's what it takes to hold you I just too soon let you go

but there's one thing I want you to know

you better look before you leaps still water runs deep

and it won't always be someone there to put you out

and you know what I'm talkin' about

so smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholic

come on and share the good times while we can



I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes
