I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's got to be a little
rain sometime
When you take you got to give
So live and let live or let go
Oh oh oh 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
When it's 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 got to be a little
rain sometime
I beg your parden
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 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 talkin' 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 got to be a little
rain sometime
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
