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 leap 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
