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
only 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 on stalks of clover
So you better
think it over
Well with 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 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 could sing you a tune and
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'd better look before
you leap
still waters run deep
and there won't always
be someone there
to pull you out
And you know
what I'm talking about
So smile for a while
and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't
be so melancholy
Come along 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
