I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
Theres gotta be a little rain sometime

When 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 rings
But you dont find roses growin on stalks of clover
So you better think it over

Well, if 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 lets be jolly
Love shouldnt 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
Theres 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 moon
But if thats what it takes to hold you
Id just as soon let you go
But theres one thing I want you to know

Youd better look before you leap
Still waters run deep
And there wont always be someone there to pull you out

And you know what Im talking about

So smile for a while and lets be jolly
Love shouldnt 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
Theres gotta be a little rain sometime.....
