Rose Garden

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gonna be a little rain sometime



When you take you gotta give

So love and let live and let go

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden





I could promise you things

Like big diamond rings

But you don't find rose growin'

On stalks of clover

Well, you better think it over





Well, if sweet talkin' you

Could make it come true

I would hand you the world right now

On a silver platter

But what would it matter





So smile for a while

And let's be jolly

Life shouldn't be so melancholy

Come and let's share the good times

While we can





I beg your pardon

I never promise you a rose garden





Well, i could sing you a tune

Or promise you the moon

But if that's what it takes to hold you

I'd just as soon let you go

But there's one thing i want you to know





You better look before you leap

Still waters run deep

There won't always be someone there

To pull you out

That's just what i'm talkin' about

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden
