Rose Garden

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain sometime

When you take you gotta give

So live and let live or let go oh oh oh oh

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like diamond rings

But you don't find roses growing 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 sometime

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 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 sometime

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain sometime
