Rose Garden I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose gardenAlong with the sunshine there’s gotta be a little rain sometimeWhen you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond ringsBut you don’t find roses growin’ on stalks of cloverSo you better think it overWell, if sweet talking you could make it come trueI would give you the world right now on a silver platterBut what would it matterSo 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 gardenAlong with the sunshine there’s gotta 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 moonBut if that’s what it takes to hold you I’d just as soon let you goBut there’s one thing I want you to knowYou’d better look before you leap still waters run deepAnd there won’t always be someone there to pull you outAnd you know what I’m talking aboutSo 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…..
