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. I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There´s gotta be a little rain sometime.
