Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gonna be a little rain sometimes
When you take, you gotta give, so love and let live or let go
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
[Verse 2]
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
Well, you better think it over
[Verse 3]
Well, if sweet talkin' you could make it come true
I would hand you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter?
[Verse 4]
So, smile for a while and let's be jolly
Life shouldn't be so melancholy
Come on, let's share the good times while we can
[Verse 5]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gonna be a little rain sometimes
[Verse 6]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Well, I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But if there's one thing I want you to know
[Verse 7]
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
There won't always be someone there to pull you out
That's just what I'm talkin' about
[Verse 8]
So, smile for a while and let's be jolly
Life shouldn't be so melancholy
Come on, let's share the good times while we can
[Verse 9]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gonna be a little rain sometimes
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gonna be a little rain sometimes
[Verse 10]
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gonna be a little rain sometimes
