I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden |
|
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes |
|
When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go |
|
I beg you 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 |
|
When it's 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 you pardon I never promised you a rose garden |
|
Along with the sunshine girl there's gotta be a little rain sometimes |

|
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 better look before you leap still water runs 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... |
