| I beg your pardon
|
| I never promised you a rose garden
|
| Along with the sunshine
|
| There’s gotta be a little rain some time
|
| When you take you gotta give so live and let live
|
| Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
|
| 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
|
| Well if sweet-talkin' 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 some time
|
| 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 too 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 a 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,
|
| I beg your pardon
|
| I never promised you a rose garden. |
