I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
there`s 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 don`t 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 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 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 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`d 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 talking 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 sometime.....
