Rose Garden

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There has to be a little rain sometime

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 don't find roses

Growing in stalks of clover

So you better think it over

If sweet talking then you could make it come true

I could 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 has to be a little rain sometime

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune

And promise you the moon

If that's what it takes to hold you

Then I'd just as soon let you go

But there's one thing I want you to know

Look before you leap, still waters run deep

There won't always be

Someone there to pull you out

And you know what I'm talking about

So smile for a while, 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 has to be a little rain sometime
