Rose Garden

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

When you take you gotta give so live 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 roses growin' on stalks of clover

So you better think it over

Well, if 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 let's be jolly love shouldn't 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 there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I beg your pardon I never promised you, oh, a rose garden
