I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
Theres gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you gotta give
So live and let live or let go
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you dont find roses growin on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
When its sweet talking, you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter?
So smile for a while and lets be jolly
Love shouldnt be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
Theres gotta 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 thats what it takes to hold you
Id just as soon let you go
But theres one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap
Still waters run deep
And there wont always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what Im talking about
So smile for a while and lets be jolly
Love shouldnt be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
Theres gotta be a little rain sometimes
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
