Lyrics

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's gotta be a little rain some time

Now, when you take you gotta give

So live and let live

Or let go my, my, my

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 growin' on stalks of clover

So you better think it over

If sweet-talkin' you would make it come true

Then I'd 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 some time

Now, when you take you gotta give

So live and let live

Or let go my, my, my

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, oh

Look before you leap, still water runs deep

And there won't always be someone there to pull you out

And I 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 gotta be a little rain some time

Now, when you take you gotta give

So live and let live

Or let go my, my, my

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden
